560% markup from raw material to finished product on the shelves. That sounds about ... fine to me? But was this a pro-capitalism/freemarkets post that I misinterpreted because this is Lemmy?
Is he just selling the wheat? So you still need to thresh, seperate the chaff, clean it, mill it, make the dough, bake it, and stock it. Baking it is especially expensive I bet- power isn't cheap. Bread is one of the things I'm continually surprised at how cheap it is, considering how much work goes into it.
power is cheap, distribution is expensive. most of the cost of electricity is marketing, admin, and maintaining the distribution networks.
most of the process you described is automated, very little cost for it to occur. again its the distribution that leads to large increases. have to pay the driver, have to move the load, have to get all the pre-reqs to each location to perform the process.
Power is not cheap in the UK. Mostly down to a warmongering shitbird to the east ramping up the price of gas, and most of our grid still running on that.
pretty sure it doesn't take a kilogram of flour to make a loaf of bread, maybe a pound.
It doesn't say flour. It says wheat.
Tell me how you make flour again
Well it ain't 1 to 1.
pretty damn close
Pretty damn close doesn't cut it when your being pedantic.
Someone is (you)
How much does a kilogram of wheat weigh?
Probably between a kilogram of feathers and a kilogram of steel.
Like 3 Big Macs
1000g
That's a lot of gold.
Couple elbows

Well he's getting there
That's a rough 65 ngl.
It's hella odd moving to the UK because for the first time in my life I'm getting remarks on how young I look, meanwhile the hard water has made my hair look like if you got a bunch of cobwebs and lit a firework in it
He looks better under acceleration
Your wording there needs work.
