If you grow up in a household that eats well and values food and cooking at home surely it’ll make a difference. I wouldn’t solely blame this on the individual. America sells junk food way too aggressively and way too much. I reckon there needs to be restrictions on that and even heavier taxes on junk food. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] dodgy_bagel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 years ago (2 children) That's 70% horse shit. With everyone in the house being over worked and under paid, everyone is too exhausted to spend the time to actually cook. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] johnthedoe@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (2 children) To me that’s like saying everyone’s too exhausted to brush their teeth or have a shower. Simple cooking isn’t hard when it’s ingrained in your life. That comes from finding enjoyment in it and upbringing plays a big part in that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] crypticthree@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children) Cooking for one sucks balls.

I do always make a batch. I feel more relaxed and free to experiment knowing I won’t disappoint anyone if I make a mistake. permalink fedilink source parent [–] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Ok, so I wasn’t brought up that way. Well, I kinda was, but my mom made a lot of undesirable shit. I only recently learned that vegetables can actually be delicious. Still, it feels like a lot of work. I cook good meals as a treat. The rest is like oven/microwave crap from Trader Joe’s and cooking simple ass stuff. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] johnthedoe@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago Cooking simple ass stuff is still cooking and that’s a win. I love cooking one pot dishes. Everything in a rice cooker and press start. There are days I don’t feel like cooking for sure. I guess it’s about finding a style that doesn’t feel like a chore for everyday cooking. And go all out when you have the energy. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago People are just making excuses for not doing for themselves, that's all. If you don't know the basics you have a moral responsibility to learn the basics. It's part of being an adult. But American culture discourages people from pursuing maturity and enables them to do dumb shit like live solely off of processed foods. And it's able to do that because most Americans don't want responsibility. They want their lives lived for them and corporations exploit that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] reluctantpornaccount@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago Upbringing, education and availability. There are towns in the US where the only grocery store within 20 miles is a Dollar General, creating food deserts. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ShittyRedditWasBetter@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Issa joke 🤦♂️ permalink fedilink source parent [–] zephr_c@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago Because $200 worth of real food would be about a quarter of that in America. permalink fedilink source parent
