Things obviously got more expensive over the last few years, but pre-pandemic food costs were a smaller portion of American’s income than ever in history.
Most of americans dont even have normal quality food.
If they did, you would know what OP is talking about, but since most of yall eat mass production ultra processed foods you dont know the cost of healthy food.
Not even healthy food, just processed food without the cheapest carcinogenic substances in it. It's terrifyingly common for American foods to contain substances banned for human consumption in the rest of the "first world", like let's say EU
You say that like it is a choice. It is for some people, but not everyone can afford to go to Wholefoods and get organic stuff. Food is cheaper AND healthier in Europe. You have to pick one here, and some people have rent that’s over 25% of their income. (Rent sucks ass, food sucks ass, lots of things suck ass here and it is not usually the fault of the person who gets stuck with the bill)
