Have you actually received fake food from amazon?

Food items can end up 2x+ times the price over a grocery store because there are hidden shipping costs. And many times the higher prices cause less people to purchase, so the item has a short experiation date.

And Im concerned about knockoffs as well.

NPR interviewed the author of Real Food, Fake Food. Basically everything is fake, olive oil, fish, Parmesan cheese

If there was any incentive to create and sell a knock off product, it is only increased when Amazon provides laxadasial environment.
