Doesn't sound like defensible profits for a company. Imho this stuff gets commoditized easily and in a few years and then dozens of companies will be selling these including many supermarkets with their private label driving profit margins extremely low..

Yeah.
Labor was bodily pretty intense so many people didn't work more than 6 or 7 hours per day. Of course there was a huge diversity among how long one worked but it's very wrong to think that people 200 years ago had to work 15 hours under slave conditions. This is more a thing of early industrialization.

Also, winter was a pretty lazy time, especially in the countryside.
