There is no “Tragedy” in mass produced Matzas. In the olden days people starved and could barely afford the Matzas for the Sedar using the smallest possible shiurim. People litterally starved in those days. it is not a time to be fondly remembered

Today B’H most people can afford the Hand Shumrahs for the Sedarim alone. Its really only the rest of Pesach thats its an issue.

Regardless of what anyones says there is no Averirah to eat Machine Matza (Shmurah if you like) the rest of Peseach. You are not over a D’Oraysa for eating it.

You might be over a D’ORaysa of “Simchat Yom Tov” however if you worry about how you are going to pay for it or skimp on something else to pay for the Matza.
