The owner gains equity and makes a profit without doing any work whatsoever.  

Speaking for myself, I have no regrets whatsoever.

I try to eat 18 healthy meals per week (I often fail, but rarely eat fewer than 15 healthy meals) and most weeks am able to completely avoid foods that contain any sugar or variants whatsoever.
