The history of the 31/12 deficit.
The deficit of Soviet time is now perceived with negativity. But this medal has two sides. As a person who was 14 years old in 1985, I have the right to have an eyewitness note. I will not talk about servings and 40 varieties of cheese - here the achievements are undisputed :)) I will say about bread and milk.

First about today.
Today I went to the market with my minors (9+12) to buy fruits and salads for the New Year’s table. We loaded up, drove to the exit and suddenly I see a turn. The man 30. He came closer and found himself looking for bread. A small tent from the "sovkovo" bakery, the products of which I did not get in the shops. The buttons lay in wooden pots, well-known to those who were over 40. Bread was needed, the look at the turn caused nostalgic notes and another fighter was added to the squadron.
The kids did not understand me. A couple of times they approached - "Daddy, it's cold on the street, why are you standing, let's go near the house to Dixie / Cross / Albuquerque and buy bread."
But the turn passed quickly and adding 2 classic buttons (a-la 25 kopecks) to the bag, we moved home. The bread was fresh, but not hot at the sale and we went home for forty minutes. But! At home, 2 batons of children (and not only) efforts "left" in an hour. The bread was delicious.

Since I was 7 years old, I have been the main supplier of everyday home products. Returning from school to run to the bread store, to the dairy, and sometimes to the butter/cream became an imperceptible and easy task. There were rounds in the shops, each of which I spent 2-5-10 minutes. Sometimes there was nothing and I had to go to the store again. One day I couldn’t buy anything.

The food was fresh!! The bread was brought from the bakery immediately after the "night", "morning" or "day" baking. Yesterday’s bread or milk was not considered a purchase option at all.
Milk was purchased in order to drink, cook cakes and make cheese.

What we have achieved now. Trade chains, destroying specialized stores of Bread / Milk, put producers in conditions where they simply cannot produce a quality product. As long as the networks put him on the shelf, everything is gone.
All unsold bread is returned to the bakery, which is forced to add it to the new bakery. Up to half of the “new” bread consists of the “second.” Because of this, the taste of bread is simply absent, and the mold, on the contrary, is in excess. According to Soviet standards, the investment should not be more than 5%
Bread everywhere fast cooking, with breweries, and milk with preservatives. It doesn’t squeeze, it squeezes!! to
Manufacturers simply cannot send networks to@"%, to sell products nowhere. Keeping your points is not expensive.

We lost a quality product "in the row" and got ga@but in the range. Maybe somebody likes it. I found my tent.
