Capitalism is widely seen as competitive, the competition strengthening the products. Capitalism forces you to live with other people's bad judgment. You go to a restaurant, and you're drowned in fat, sugar, salt, unnatural flavorings, etc. All the healthy snack bars disappear from stores. When hungry, I've often wanted to just go to the supermarket, get some produce, wash it, and eat it in a corner - but you're forced to pay $6 if you want a handful of washed strawberries, and in most supermarkets you don't even have a place to eat them. That's competitive and superior? That's a parade of bad judgment and lack of the obvious amenities.
