Those things all have really long shelf lives.<BR/><BR/>A food that has a long shelf life lends itself to economies of scale. You can make a huge amount of white flour in a few factories in Washington and ship it all over the country. You minimize the workforce and equipment so the cost is lower. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, you also minimize the nutritional value.Stephan Guyenethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218114625524777250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629175743855013102.post-34750809295405719912008-03-06T12:56:00.000-08:002008-03-06T12:56:00.000-08:00Increasing the shelf life is another way hydrogena...Increasing the shelf life is another way hydrogenated oils save money for food processing corporations.
