I often times walk through a local store chain and see 30 types of mustard on the shelves and I think to myself: “Who needs so much choice?”

Another thing on the top of my mind is oatmeal - I’m not a oatmeal connoisseur but I can’t taste the difference between the 5-10 types of oatmeal in the store, not that I’ve an active choice to try them. Do we need that much diversity in oatmeal choices?

And so on and so on.

unfortunately when there are so many choices the usual reason is because they are all bad...
