Will you still buy from the same stall if you realise that the soup base is actually made from chicken cubes?

I was shocked when i saw my favourite ban mian stall making the soup base out of chicken cubes. 

Unsettled, i raised this question to my colleagues and was chided for being naive. 

This makes me wonder how much of the food we are eating today is actually processed or flavoured to taste like the real thing? 

At the same time, it makes me feel sad that stall owners are not only cutting corners but sometimes still charging a premium for what we are eating.  This ban mian stall even started to serve the noodles in disposable bowls and we are paying like $4 - 5 for the ban mian and the owner at ang mo kio even measures the quantity of ikan bilis. 

Shakes head, i've banned this place from my dining list since my discovery.
