How much do you think rice and beans actually cost? Good luck eating more than $10 worth in a month. Pork loin ($12) is super-cheap, slice and freeze, got food for a couple weeks. Bag of mini oranges is $4 and that’s desert for a week. Add a (freakin huge) bag of Popeye fresh spinach for $4. So far I’ve spent $30 and have enough food to feed myself and even guests. Dunno who these “most people” are. These studies you mention … and all this navel gazing … that’s not real.
It can be hard to break out of the American processed food trap. Requires practice. Gotta do it in order to understand. Go buy some groceries and cook something.
I meal prep, but i eat home cooked food every day. Anyway, since I gave up all the processed junk food, my acne is gone, I feel healthier, I AM healthier. I don’t work though, so I doubt I could work AND home cook meals.
Pork loin is 7 dollars a pound. Ground beef is cheaper. Chicken or tofu are by far the cheapest proteins.
And I’m sorry but you cannot survive on spinach, oranges, pork, rice, and beans. Not to mention that rice is a 20 minute cook and dried beans take literal hours.
You can’t just say something is cheap when the knock is time, money, and mental energy. You sound like those yuppis born into money, just telling people to buy a house to get on the financial freedom train.
