> Sysco has become the comfort food of the masses

Well, exactly. But to my point, that's true in what is basically a specious sense: it's cheap. People didn't invent "comfort food" for comfort! Comfort food is the stuff people grew up eating. And people grew up eating what their parents could provide affordably and reliably.

Well, now that cheap and available food arrives in big white box trucks and gets canned a continent away. But the principle behind choosing it hasn't changed a bit.
