      I can see where @KevinH_PhD is coming from. I think it was @GidMK and others (including @WeDietitians ) who put together some figures around cooking at home including the cost of everything. However, if we are willing to learn and be passionate about cooking, we are better off

      I'd like to see those figures put up against the cost of fast/prepared foods. It's not even close. You give me the receipt of someone w/cart of crap from WM Superstore, & I'll go back in & turn that into 3X the meals. We need to work on helping people make better choices.

      But is that because you have the skills, time and knowledge to do all the cooking? And what will your time cost? I agree more people need to learn how to choose the freshest food options, and to then cook such ingredients but how do we do it is the bigger question.

      Yoni and Kevin are not wrong IMO What about the stuff you need to cook, that has costs too. Utensils, equipment, electricity, housing (to put it all in), storage (fridges and freezers), transportation (to get to grocery stores), access to ingredients (food desert?), and then time

      Not only are they wrong, but this absurd infantilizing of even greater swathes of the populace is solving nothing. The poor historically do not have problems with obesity and diabetes. This is a public-policy created problem.pic.twitter.com/WsfaL8MG1P

      I'm not sure about historically, but in the city I live in there is a strong correlation between an areas average income and the incidence of diabetes, not a positive one

      The initial social determinants work was done in the 70s and 80s and demonstrated strong relationships between poor health and SES. The relationship differs on GDP though, in very poor countries the poor are undernourished and starve instead

      >> in very poor countries the poor are undernourished and starve instead<< So decades of social engineering & worrying about "enough" & no stigma (seriously we can't NOT subsidize junk foods!) have resulted in this. Too much, mostly junk. Yet nobody can cook. 😦

      "Social engineering" sounds like a conspiracy theory what exactly do you mean?

          This chicken dinner looks scrumptious! https://shop.coles.com.au/a/a-national/product/mccain-red-box-chicken-parmagiana-meal-frozen … NOT. You're a "health nerd"? Seriously? $6 for ~500 cal. That's $24-$36 a day ... I could feed the Duggars on that budget. And it would be so much better. #nospecialskillz
