You have a point.
I have nothing packaged in my kitchen. If I want to eat something, I have to cook. Have it down to a science, can make fabulous dinner in 15 minutes.
Another Freeper and I decided to see if we could eat well for a week on $30. She bought some packaged soups and a few other things, I did everything from scratch. Both of us succeeded quite well in having delicious, nutritious meals. We started it to show that foodstamp recipients who whine about the amount they receive are wrong. And stupid.
MFgers of packaged foods flood TV and every other form of advertising with messages about their "nutritious" crap. Thinking of Honey Bunches of Oats that contains a horrendous amount of sugar. Kids are getting these messages night and day. The population is definitely NOT headed toward health.
But not to worry, BigPharma will load them up with incredibly expensive drugs when they inevitably get sick. And our tax bucks will pay for that too. A neighbor of mine gets more than $6,000 worth of prescriptions a month, paid for by Medicare. Her cabinets are FULL of packaged foods.
Very interesting experiment.
Wouldn’t you love to see that appear on MSM news?
Unfortunately the kind of homemaking skills most needed by poor people are no longer taught either by their parents (if they have any in the household) or public schools.
