Comment on The poop psa absolutely no one asked for

Can’t blame the situation on “them”. When was the last time you personally cooked some spinach? Do you have wild rice in your kitchen? How about fresh or dried fruit? Nuts?

If you cook for yourself and make good decisions about what you eat, you will immediately lose weight, your skin will clear, your guts will start working correctly … oh … and you no longer worry about what “they” are doing to your food.

That takes money, time, and mental energy. None of which are in high supply for most people working shift jobs or 8-5. The best personal solution is to make and freeze your meals on your off day so you can just heat them up whenever. The best systemic solution is to guillotine a capitalist for producing toxic food that masquerades as healthy and delicious, then ask the others if they have any questions about the new food regulations.

This is far less of a problem in other countries. We don’t have to let corporations treat us as an exploitable resource.

  The only bit of sense you made was mentioning meal prep. The time, money, and mental energy spent on your own health are rewards, not costs. Being responsible for your health can be difficult for Americans to fathom, but its cheap and easy.

    It’s really not cheap. We have the studies about how it’s more expensive and about how food deserts exist. And time? Lmao. You get home from an 8-5 job at 6-7 depending on your commute. Which means you have 2-3 hours for relaxation, food, exercise, social activity, bills, and house chores before you have to go to sleep so you can get 8 hours.
    
    And expecting someone to work all day and still have abundant mental energy is just pure toxic positivity. That’s not the experience of most people. We also have historical studies showing we didn’t “work” as much in pre-industrial times and that with the rise of shift work comes the rise of prepared food as a calorie source.
    
    The answer here is plainly to regulate the prepared food, not blame people for their lack of a pocket universe operating on a different timescale.

    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. So far I’ve spent $28 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. Go buy some groceries and cook something.
