      Let me save you the time. Nothing to "unpack" ... read the original tweet. Cooking is NOT rocket science. Poor people have been doing it forever. Flavor is not a privilege. #CheetosAreNotTheAnswer

      I’ll summarize: Of all the things influencing “what is for dinner tonight”, the price of food is only one factor. Google “cost of food” and you’ll find a pile of comparisons on “cost of unhealthy v healthy”. I allude to some of them in the 2009 publication I’d tagged earlier

      (3/?) In US, you can buy a small freezer (pennies to operate) for <$200. I could carry this into my house by myself, even after recent physical setbacks & surgeries. Frozen veg are dirt cheap if you pay any attention to sales. So many foods are easily frozen for another day.

      So what you're saying is that it takes quite some time and effort to eat cheaply? Pretty much the point. It may not cost MONEY, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a cost

      You have a strange definition of "quite some time and effort" ... it's really not a lot. You seem to need to justify to yourself eating mediocre prepared meals because it "costs" too much. Carry on. I stick by my OP.

      I cook all my own food, being condescending doesn't make your point any more interesting or your argument any better 👍

      Then why are you linking me to the convenience food freezer section and arguing that this is somehow cheaper? It NEVER is.

      Because it is, unless, as I've said, you discount externalities to the raw ingredient costs such as time, cooking implements etc. I'm lucky enough to be able to afford the time and effort to cook most meals I eat, that's not true for a lot of people

      No it's not. Those meals provide about 1/4th of daily calories for an average adult, & you still need that (apparently!) luxury freezer. $20/day min, $140/week for one person. Your "time and effort" and a few (reusable) cooking implements are negated and then some.

      Eh now you're just taking total nonsense Here's a fun thought experiment: min wage in Australia is about $18 an hour. If you spend an extra half-hour cooking it's costing you at least $9, probably more

          So a freezer costs 10 hrs of min wage labor. Good to know. How much does shaving and showering cost you? What is total nonsense is to itemize out all your hours in a day as if you could be earning money or something. Keep spinning. It helps nobody to discourage home cooking.

          Eh as I said, tedious. No one's discouraging anything, your disingenuous nonsense is very boring
