I think it has to do with a fresh versus processed food. Very few of today's people actually know how to fix a meal from fresh produce. They want it out of a can, or a bag, or something they can microwave., It's also a problem of everyone from producers, suppliers, retail outlets, and everyone connected to the food industry being able to coordinate and rearrange the whole process.

Also, if you believe things will soon be back to normal, then you would be hesitant to change, knowing that you'd soon have to change back. At least, that's what I think.
