Comment on The US federal loophole that allows food companies to decide what's safe for you to eat
IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 2 months agoI included grocery stores which have just as good selection and quality. Very few Americans don’t have access to inexpensive (relative to processed garbage) high quality food.
Yes I am blaming the people. There isn’t a victim. They have voluntarily choosen to skip inexpensive healthy food for convenience. It is their fault and no one else’s.
Spoken like a rich snob who has never had to work 3 jobs to make ends meet.
Prepping fresh food takes time most Americans don’t have. Our system is set up so only the wealthy have time to cook.
We need better safety nets and higher pay in order for people to simply have enough time to eat.

Don’t forget you also have to take the time to cook that food.
It’s much more time saving to cook something that’s already half prepared, like a taco kit, hamburger helper, or chicken nuggets than it is to prepare a whole dinner from scratch on a weekday to feed your kids.
Also, even the best grocery stores around my place have pretty bad produce that are either half rotten or too unripe to eat right away and have no taste.
Blame the victims all you want. But you’re wrong.

Again, laziness. It takes a half hour to cook a meal. An hour if you do something complex.
This has been done by adults forever. I am blaming you and the “victims” 🤣 and I’m not wrong. It takes 6 or 7 hours a week to run meals for a family and very few people don’t have that kind of time. And I am empathetic to those in that situation it’s a different conversation.

You come across as a huge douche.

Hahahaha I love how they deleted all their comments after being called out. It’s a shame though. Now no one will ever know what they said.
