It's also worth noting, however, that automation must occur in bulk offsite in order to be cost-effective, which has only been made possible by the advent of chemical preservatives. If those chemical preservatives were eliminated--either through official safety regulations or general customer refusal--much of the automation trend would grind to a halt, as it were.
