but lets not pretend it’s not our own decision what we shove in our mouths.
If it is for you, you should consider yourself lucky, compared to big portion of the US population (or world population for that matter, but we’re talking US now). Just like you can’t just will yourself into owning a big house, or whatever luxury you can’t afford, a lot of people can’t will themselves into having enough money and time to have a proper food selection. That’s not even talking about the fact that for a lot of people it will require moving into some other part of the country.
Proper healthy food is vastly cheaper. It takes an hour to meal prep for a family for a week. At best there is an education issue for the vast majority. And most of those people in food desserts make shitty decisions and buy shit food when given the option.
Roast some chicken thighs with a Mexican, Indian, and usually Italian rub or marinade. I’ll slow cook a pork butt and shred it as well. Freezem both up.
When I’m tired and don’t want to make a real meal I’ll heat up one of those, and quickly blanch or roast some veggies store them as well for a quick reheat. It’s delicious and frees me up for more fancy meals when I have the time.

Stop this nonsense.
i keep hearing this nonsense and every time people show or describe to me what they’ve done or how they eat, it’s depressing.

see that’s where we disagree. if you can slow cook a pork butt in an hour it’s nasty as hell.
It’s an 8 hour cook, 5 minute prep thing. It’s great and makes burritos for 2 weeks.
