american food is poison. nobody can afford to buy and cook fresh food so we are all slowly getting diabetes for picking up processed meals on the way home from our third job that is a 45 min drive each way. obv ymmv but this is america.
No, you just cherry pick expensive ingredients so you can tell yourself that cooking your own food is more expensive. As an extreme example, how much would a pound of oats cost? Surely a fraction of any takeout meal you can think of
“affording” includes the energy and time to cook, and that all assumes nobody in the house struggles with food aversions or similar. you might be able to cook all your food, but not everyone can.
You can make oats in like genuinely 6 minutes. Rice in like 10. Spend 15 seconds pouring chickpeas in a bowl of water and snack on them the next day. If you have the time to sit at a drive thru, you,ve got no excuse for either of those. Don’t deny yourself your own agency. You absolutely can.

So you’re changing the goalpoasts from “nobody can afford to buy and cook fresh food” to “some people don’t have the time and energy to cook”
they are saying affordability cannot be measured only with money
yes, thank you. pedants are exhausting lol

Are those the same people that oppose switching to electric stoves because they supposedly perform so much worse?
It seems like the vast majority of US-Americans oppose this which doesn’t make sense if they never cook.
