Almost nobody appreciates how expensive clothes used to be, even as “late” as 200 years ago. A shirt was once thousands of hours of labor; scarcity logic flows directly from that. The shirt you can buy at Walmart for ~$2 is a superior artifact along most product dimensions.https://twitter.com/morganhousel/status/1260287299213864960 …

I also think that a lot of the perceived healthiness of home food is more status weighting than it is an accurate reflection of nutrition science, in the same fashion that people think that e.g. orange juice is healthy and fresh-squeezed OJ healthier still.

For sure. In this case I judged it based on a small but notable increase in waistline when eating more from restaurants, despite similar ingredients. And a jump in cholesterol. Both reversed when switched to similarly tasty restaurant salads that avoided the oils.

Wow. I can’t wait forthwt to arrive here. The big issue that seems inescapable at local restaurants is cheap vegetable oils. But I guess that’s the issue: it’s a cost heavy restaurant. The oils likely offer a cost advantage not necessarily present with an efficient process.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Care to name the brand? Cause my bet would be that the macros on the nutrition label will show the difference.

I don't disagree about so much of health perception really being about status FWIW, but that just exxacerbates processed food problems because there's no incentive for the food packagers to care about the things that actually matter.
