A couple years in North Korea will cure him.
I never complained about all those great choices but I have wanted to meet the people who buy some of the crazy stuff on the shelves.
I remember reading many years ago that people from the Soviet Union who came here were sometimes extremely disturbed by our grocery stores. Having so many choices was disorienting and kind of overwhelming to them.
On a sadder note, I was working in a hearing clinic before the Soviet Union fell, and some Russians attached to their government came in one day - one of them wanted to buy a hearing device for his mother back in Russia. I asked him if they didn’t have anything like this in his country, and he appeared very sad, shook his head, and looked away.
I visited the UK a couple years ago. The difference in here and there is pronounced.
Having a large variety of choice is both good and bad.
I think there should NOT be any kind of legislation - let the free market decide it.
Too little choice - like in communism. This sucks.
Too much choice - this can be overwhelming at first, but then you start to choose one and stick with it.
If we look at the example he gave, of orange juice - dozens of choices, but evidently each is making money, so there is a market for each.
For me in that case I would look for an OJ without added sugar and not made from concentrate. Maybe for added vitamins, but I’d check the ingredients. Then I’d look at the price.
So most of those would be knocked out for added sugar or being made from concentrate == for ME (someone else may want the added sugar, so good for them)
