yeah it’s an interesting perspective to compare with the software world.

losing 3% to Stripe, or even 30% to Apple doesn’t look so bad anymore.

I know grocery stores have razor thin margins. 

I assume agriculture is a tough industry

This chart is from the US Department of Agriculture’s [latest report](https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/ag-and-food-statistics-charting-the-essentials/food-prices-and-spending/) on changes in US food spending.

Pretty wild to see all the middlemen involved in bringing food from a farm to your table, and even more wild that farmer’s are only earning 7.9% of the money consumers spend on food.
