      Do the rich want it because the poor’s can’t afford it or because of how unsustainable and cruel it is to get?

        Probably both. The first is kinda logical from their PoV. The second looks like bollocks, but the rich cuisine today and in the past has very disturbing tendency to do exactly that.

      Remember that time where europeans considered spices an luxury food, but when they started to steal so much spices from their colonies that it started to flood the market to the point where it was cheap food for the common people, it lost its status of luxury and stopped being used on rich european food. Capitalists and aristocrats are willing to make worse food so they can wave their dicks about how rich and full of luxury they are, what an bad joke.
