Thanks. Yeah that's part of the point I'm trying to make.

But people don't see the world that way... they see premade food as some sort of normal thing. And ironically all the nutrionists and public health people straight up tell us that premade stuff is unhealthy and problematic in both terms of nutrition and cost. Cheap food is always full of additives and shitty stuff. Natural foods are not, but they cost more. Better food production practices and regulations, cost more, etc.

But people just want see the sticker price in front of their face and ignore all the things that go into that price and don't want to talk about them because acknowledging how the supply system works is 'trolling' because it makes them uncomfortable. The existence of $6 ready to eat roasters is seem some inherently good and worthy thing... but it isn't when you start to ask why they cost so little.

We increasingly live in this weird world were the notion of cooking your own healthy food is some form of class oppression and privileged or something. When what it does is give you way more control over what goes into your body and typically you eat less.
