Thought of the week: the majority of food purchasing happens in grocery stores. Bc of this, brands need to (i) produce enough units (ii) to have enough economies of scale (iii) to make profit selling there (v slim margin). This leaves ZERO room for failure -- if customers don't like for w/e reason, [brand] still has a shit ton of inventory they have to sell! On top of this, grocers give zero data to brands - brands don't know who's buying their product, how often, etc. These are why shelves are dominated by the same old, sugar-heavy incumbents. Idk what the solution is, but we need a new type of grocer that levels the playing field so we can get healthier foods on shelf!
