I'm an Idiot? Really, that's how you start your argument... wow. I don't even know why I bothered reading the reset of your comment. When you start a response with "You're an Idiot" it just makes you sound stupid.
Firstly, I don't really care how "controlled" a factory is. I didn't say that the factories used inedible or poisonous ingredients. I'm sure everything they use is approved and won't make you sick. Just like Neapolitan ice cream from the grocery store is perfectly fine to eat.
Secondly, I don't care what you think "everybody in the industry" knows. Appeal to authority doesn't help your argument.
Thirdly, I never said anything about organic ingredients so I'm not sure why you brought it up. When I said high quality ingredients I meant things like real vanilla bean in a vanilla cup cake instead of "artificial vanilla flavour" or saffron in a saffron cup cake. Or orange zest in a orange cupcake instead of "artificial flavours and colours". I suspect you would know this if you ever left your mom's basement.
Fourthly, they are not ALL lard. Almost all specialty shops use real butter. Just Google "specialty cupcake ingredients". It's not that hard. You live in a really vacuous world if you think you can't get a real butter cupcake.
I am guessing that you don't travel much and haven't experience things and people out of your comfort zone. You probably don't feel welcome in new environments and around new people. Probably because you flippantly call people "idiots" and then go on to say the stupidest things. I suggest you try being a bit more buttery to people perhaps little sweeter and more sugary and then, perhaps, you will make something called a "friend" or even multiple "friends". And maybe, just maybe, one of these "friends" might even buy you a cupcake, with real butter.
