anyway I made two very simple black bean burritos with an incredibly complex resource chain, which I was thinking about, and only barely began to describe here (very inaccurately, probably)
not included in this picture: human labor, machinery, transportation, vast support web that made these two burritos made at home possible, capitalists that extracted profit from the two burritos
also, I did some tortilla espionage in the making of this thread (searching online) and am here to share confidential tortilla industry trade secrets
