For example, to you "cardboard food" seems meh - but it exists as a way to deliver food at a very low price point. That's important.
Frozen food exists as a way to preserve perishables - again, important.
Fast food, I don't understand the hate. Nobody goes into a McDonalds thinking "oh boy this is gonna make me healthy as an oxe!" It's comfort food, nothing wrong with that.
Cardboard food is more expensive than buying the whole ingredients.
It's irrelevant as to whether or not the person thinks it's healthy; Fast food is an inconvenience, if societies goal is to have healthier, longer-living citizens.
Quote:The thing that I would stress about "diets of yesteryear" is that too much emphasis seems to be given on -what they ate- (often incorrect, and to be honest most people today and yesterday have eaten whatever they could get their hands on), when the emphasis should probably be on -what they did-.I agree.
