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.
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.
Buddy, that’s what I eat. You’re buried in some sort of fantasy. And apparently you shop at a luxury store, and ya don’t know how to actually shop. I’m telling you about my diet, not some sort of study or research effort. You don’t believe me. That’s fine. Keep eating crap.
I’d love to know where you live that one of the most marketable pieces of pork is cheaper than chicken and ground beef. Because that would be amazing.
Winco. Goes as low as $2 lbs all the time. Get the whole thing, not cuts. Pork, sadly for the pigs, is cheap.

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.

Fair enough. Sometimes I smoke meat on the weekend, that’s certainly a time sink. I make a rice/bean thing once or twice a week, lasts several days. It either has meat or gets some after I re-work it later. Veggies are usually cut and steamed in the micro or also tossed in the main course. I don’t eat breakfast, lunch is either stuff I smoked or cold cuts. On weeks where I don’t fire up the smoker, I probably spend a half hour every day preparing food.
