"tell a just-so story"

That is theoretically possible, but with some of the more off the wall ideas like highly processed breakfast cereals, it should be easy to run statistical correlation tests.

I do agree with your point WRT established and ingrained ideas like "someone cooks your food for you and someone puts it on a table while you relax" which is not all that weird or new of an idea, just previously too expensive.

In contrast, considering something that's a bizarre idea like packaged processed breakfast cereals, that demand simply had to be manufactured because its too weird to organically grow itself. I mean, you're going to do what to corn, and then put it in a plastic bag, then drown it in cow milk even though you're an adult human not a baby cow, then eat it? Really? That's just weird.
