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.
