Yes, it “is” a case of convenience foods make the price go up.
Obviously I was not comparing apples to apples because I chose beef as the comparison which is vastly more expensive than the constituent ingredients of the prepackaged food.
I can make those burgers myself for about 1 to 2 dollars of the veggie/legume/rice ingredients so let’s get real here.

It’s only really fair to compare when you consider the price at OPs store.
Myself, I’m looking at the cost of the burger patties and I know that in my region the price of 1 lb of ground beef relative to this convenient product would be 1/3rd
I think the other side that doesn’t get explored very often is how convenience food makers have gotten everybody hooked and unable to cook anymore.
Now that that is generally locked-in behavior in our society, the price goes through the roof.
I know people that literally do not know how to make rice because it’s “too hard”.
We should acknowledge that grocery prices have gone up in that price-gouging is rampant. We should also acknowledge that most of people’s money spent at the grocery store is to exchange hundreds of dollars of extra money, for minutes less preparation.
In this picture of this person paid $10 for a pound of “burger”. A pound of ground beef or tofu is a third that price. It takes a minute to slap a couple patties together or to slice off a few slabs, dry them and fry them.
I really feel like we need to enhance this conversation. I think a lot of people don’t want to have it because they want to have the convenience but not the price and it’s just not sustainable anymore. I think people need to look at their own dietary lifestyle, and consider what they’re trading for that convenience.
Cognitive behavioral therapy?

Yeah
Hey are you in MB by any chance?
I worked with a woman that unironically declared “I’m voting red because red is the color of Canada”.
Buy a pail from a mom-and-pop burger shop and print your own label.
Fuck, I can’t imagine what a hilarious conversation piece that would be lol… actually think I’m going to do something like this just to make my friends guffaw
Yes indeed.
Always the same comments whenever mood- and perception-altering substances are discussed.
“What you said is wrong because I don’t react that way!” or “I don’t know how drugs work but I watch a lot of TV!”
edit: Oh how could I forget, also: “Weed isn’t addictive! I’ve been smoking 9g a day for 20 years and I’m still not addicted! I can quit any time!”
Funny, I came to this community and ended up on this post, searching for how to make comments larger!
This app actually rocks. I am so enthusiastic to see what kind of improvements and updates are in store! Great job!
ITT: I do mushrooms and I don’t go crazy so therefore it’s impossible, and also I don’t understand human psychology at all.
Yeah MS, compel use of your software by forcing it on people, cajoling and misleading them. Instead of, ya know, adding killer features that make it popular and recommended by all, the way so many of your competitors did as they ate your lunch.
I think of it as picking up two pieces of dog shit and trying to decide which smells better.
I only visit the comments of these kinds of posts to see the “praise me” comments from people that bought one of these and needs randos to know they made a good purchasing decision.
So many people attacking OP and perhaps not remembering there was a time when nearly all flat panel TVs came on a pedestal mount. The designs were largely changed to mitigate claims and liability.
