Sadly this doesn’t surpise me and paints perfectly into the bigger picture of today’s america - home of deception.

that oriental Chineese soup is made by third generation americans that look like asians but never been to or heard a single chinese word. They got ingredients from local Cali’s market.

That CVS 100% natural aloe vera? It doesnt have any traces of real alovera at all!

Crab meat? I dint think so; its all immitation made from eatable sponge.

That naural honey? Its all high fructose corn syroupe.

The list go on and on ;( so sad that we as a society in whole accept this state of affairs ;(

I think you may want to re-evaluate your cynicism. If you read the article they mention that baked tiered cakes for weddings are stale and mostly ineadible. I can believe this. I have baked a few layer cakes and anything more than a few thin layers (enough to make a good topper) is a serious challenge. This is pragmatism and guest enjoyment over deception.

I’d take the fresh sheet cake over a week old repeatedly frozen and thawed cake.

Here's a radical idea then: let's stop deceiving guests they are eating such a cake.

Or, just eat the cake and move on with your life.

The cake is a lie. I can't eat it, that's the point.

So long as they enjoy the soup, why does anything else matters?

I never got the why Asian Americans are so adamant about exclaiming the superiority of authentic Asian food. We get it: American Chinese food is not the same.

Huh, okay, this is a genuinely new kind of racism to me.
