Only 20% is natural ingredients. 80% is processed foods. Typical futile attempt to eat healthy. Terrible diet.

I expect English is their second language, based on the surreal absurdity of the binary state of “healthy” and “futility”. It’s all a futile attempt, we all die. The comment reads like a Salvador Dali or René Magritte. C’est ne pas une pipe.

Which isn’t me ripping on someone for learning a new language, it’s just an emergent property of people unconstrained by convention.

Maybe learning a new language, but their post history appears to be all in English. Then again, they’re also posting on 5+ month old threads about the war in Ukraine, so Russian troll maybe?

This whole picture can be summed up in two words:

Exactly. So much of it is like refined and premade/finished shit. Presliced cheese? 😂 Buy a cheese plane/slicer and a block of cheese ffs. Much cheaper.

Love me some block of cheddar. That can go on spaghetti Bolognese, crackers, sandwiches, beans or just over some chips for some cheesy goodness.

Also pre-grated cheese has anti-caking agents, so it does things like not melt as well. A rotary grater and block of cheese can get you a better experience for a bit less money, and just a bit of work.

In addition to cheddar, a block of whole milk low moisture mozzarella for making pizza is excellent

Although depending on the country, the actual price on the low end is comparable or even pricier for the blocks.

However, you get access to tons more really good cheese if you buy in blocks.

honestly you don’t even need to learn to cook, just buy an assload of vegetables and some protein and toss that in a big pot, fry it up for a bit, then add water and let simmer for as long as you can.

soup/stew is, in practical terms, the best food.

also depending on what exact ingredients you get you can do what we in sweden call “mess in a pan” where you just dice up some root vegetable, onions, some protein (e.g. sausage), fry that up with some salt and pepper, and maybe serve with an egg. Trivial and hilariously cheap.
For 80 bucks you get AT LEAST 8 kg of that dish, and if you just add a bunch of different root veggies and peas and whatever fits, that’s basically pet food but for humans. You shouldn’t be missing any particular nutrient and it’s so good that i barely mind eating nothing but that day in and day out.

In the US, those are pretty much the only option unless you know a local farmer or producer willing to sell in bulk directly to you
