This TikTok talks about a new store that has popped up all over New York called Wonder. Wonder is a store trying to compete with other fast foods by controlling the food’s quality, timing, and delivery compared to others who try to control freshness. The CEO of Wonder isn’t a chef; he’s a businessman, which, to me, means his opinion and business model aren’t really about the food but money. The idea of Wonder can and will have catastrophic effects on how consumers eat. We might see higher delivery prices, fewer restaurants owned by the “small” people, and private equity controlling what’s left.

Question: Does knowing the business/money aspect of how food companies run affect your dining experience? If so, how?
