    What if I told you that you don’t need the processed foods you’ve been eating your whole life? Shocking I know.

    You “I can’t afford food” Them “here’s food you can” You “no not like that! I need muh Doritos to be happy like the commercials tell me!!”

    Most people in Mongolia eat one thing their entire lives and are fine.

        fresh food is a luxury in the usa, yes.

        i was grew up in a bottom 50% household. most of my childhood diet was sugary snacks, canned/boxed foodstuffs, and frozen meat/vegetables. fresh food was largely reserved for holidays. my mother used to spend about 60/week to feed a family of four, and this was after coupons and in the 1990s
