Jack Scalfani webm thread?
>>7190457
Multinationals have brainwashed the American public into believing that high quality food is unpatriotic and an attack on our fundamental freedoms as enshrined in the second amendment (the only part of the Constitution we've read)
Hipsters under the control of ISIL have been pretending to like fresh vegetables and meat that isn't from an ammonia-soaked slurry in an effort to appear "sophisticated". Real Americans, in the meantime, are fighting a losing battle to defend against creeping secularism and Big Organic. Nice things are a scam.

The 'healthy food is too expensive' meme needs to end. It's because they're lazy plebs that can't be arsed to learn how to cook.

"It's okay - it's ground buffalo."
>>7190492
A lot of poor people genuinely don't have the time to cook.
Besides, cooking appliances and equipment are expensive. Even though it might be cheaper in the long run to have them, genuinely poor people often have to make very short-term financial decisions
JUST
In the 50s America got into the Supermarket meme. I mean just consider it for a normal town when a Supermarket opened there was a big event, people were excited to go there in the same way people are excited when an Apple Store opens up.
Those Supermarkets largely carried crap because processed food lasts longer and they're cheaper. American kids fondly remember TV Dinners and Campbell's Soup.
That combined with the totally wrong logic that "Fat makes you fat" pretty much destroyed American cooking and people are only now realized how stupid it is in the last 15 years.
It's pretty amazing my local Smiths now has high end cheese and wine and all the fancy things.
I admit it I still like Kraft singles because they're good in a cheap omelette.

>>7190492
Fresh meat, veggies, etc is by far the most expensive than anything else.
I get laid off at least once a year, and my girlfriend and I call it the "fasting month" We cut our food budget in half, basically we buy frozen veggies, lots of canned foods that are on sale, pasta that's on sale, lots of rice, and twice a week we buy fresh salmon.
We can live a whole month on 250 dollars of food. Luckily I enjoy cooking and can make a lot from a little. We do fine.
But if you are living pay check to pay check, it most likely means you are working more than 50 hours a week to make ends meet, most likely don't have more than a pot and a single pan, or even a decent microwave. Poverty is a lot more depressing to a persons life than you think.
>>7190457
People who live in middle or upper middle class don't really care to much about nutrition, they pretty much worry about convenience and what tastes good, money isn't really an issue. A pack of cheap process cheese pound per pound with a brick of 750mg of real cheese isn't a good deal. Same with a lot of other processed packaged garbage.
It's only when you get into fresh veggies and quality meat it starts to get expensive.
>>7190538
But frozen veg is dirt cheap, as are grains, certain cuts of meat, eggs, tinned fish etc.
>>7190492
But it's actually true for the US. 'Organic' vegetables and fruits are a factor 3 more expensive than over here in NL.

This; lots of towns like mine ONLY have places like Walmart and Aldis, we don't have any fresh food markets or wherever you get cheap food that isn't shit, I wouldn't know. I spent several months eating nothing but frozen chicken nuggets and balogna sandwiches, $10 lasted two weeks.
Maybe we can send them some gubment cheese instead of letting the fucks into our nation. Better in yours than ours, you want them from Merkel's orders then you deal with them.
>in Europe people make sweeping generalizations about a wide group of people while calling Americans racist for not letting jamal fuck their wife
QED faggot.
Blame the 1950s, honestly. I have Boomer parents and I have a struggle trying to convince them that all the processed shit they love isn't what they should be eating. Even after I make something with fresh ingredients that is a high quality dish and give it to them, they still prefer their mass produced stuff.

>>In Europe the impoverished underclass have to subsist on unenviable diets of processed crap, which is acknowledged by all to be inferior to natural produce
This isn't really true. Some poorer folk choose it because of sloth, lack of cooking skills or lack of the ability to cook properly, such as mental or physical handicaps. But most "poor folk" in europe still eat very fresh simply because of how both agrarian and how fertile many areas of countryside are. As long as the person is physically and mentally capable, they'll eat "normally" instead of processed junk simply because processed junk isn't cent to cent competitive.
The real consumers of that stuff in most European countries are the inner city drones. These are people who make very decent wages, but are so work-oriented that there's little time or energy left in being picky. As such, they'll buy processed microwavable stuff simply so they don't have to even leave the offices for lunch, and once they make it home, there's either a family waiting, providing cooked meals, or then more of the brutal same.
Take all this with a grain of salt though. This is just store clerk observations and personal ideas.

This is a joke, right? Americans don't really think like this, do they? They can't be this paranoid, can they?
>>7190892
While many Americans don't appreciate good cheese, the idea that they've never tasted it is a bit ridiculous.
Come on now, nigga.
>>7190517
>In the 50s America got into the Supermarket meme.
>Supermarkets largely carried crap because processed food lasts longer and they're cheaper.
This is mostly true. Over the last decade or two many supermarkets have upped their game in the fresh veg department, but still most of the food in a supermarket, even an upscale one, is shit. Most of the meat is commodity grade stuff. Entire aisles are devoted to completely useless things like snack foods, soda and breakfast cereals. All but a few of the food products sold are mass produced in factories, and contain all manner of adulteration in the form of coloring, flavorings and preservatives.
Most folks make their purchase decisions based on price and convenience, not flavor or nutrition. Being too particular about what you eat is seen as effete, pretentious or snobbish, so even those with enough money to buy better food generally do not, because they never really cultivated discriminating taste. Hell, there are many Americans who get their groceries from places like Walmart, Costco and BJ's - basically places that ONLY sell garbage.
The few who really give a shit about food aren't doing much shopping at the supermarket anyways. They shop at specialty shops, food co-ops and farmer's markets. They are not buying pic related.
>>7190897
>This is a joke, right? Americans don't really think like this, do they?
Clearly there is some hyperbole there. A lot of hyperbole. But sadly it's true that when you point out to many Americans how inferior some of the processed foods are compared to the properly made alternative that they really do think you're trying to fuck with them and/or you're being deliberately pretentious.
>>7190905
How's that? The US bans the imports of cheese made from unpasteurized milk. The good stuff is literally illegal.
>>7190957
>But sadly it's true that when you point out to many Americans how inferior some of the processed foods are compared to the properly made alternative that they really do think you're trying to fuck with them and/or you're being deliberately pretentious.
This is very true. The standards for "normal" in much of the country are shockingly low. And if someone expresses disgust at shit like tater tots, nacho cheese and ranch dressing they're pretentious hipsters.
The stupid is rigidly enforced socially.
>>7190473
>Thinking secularism is a bad thing
I can only assume you're some kind of inbred.
>>7190905
>While many Americans don't appreciate good cheese, the idea that they've never tasted it is a bit ridiculous.
You're not going to get good cheese in a supermarket. You might find some OK cheese in an upscale supermarket, but really good stuff is generally only available in specialty stores in major cities or from cheesemakers themselves out in the country. And when you think about the amount of effort it takes for an artisan cheesemaker to make something really good the prices they have to sell it for are usually much more than most Americans are willing to pay. Really good stuff can easily cost over $20/lb.
It's a pretty safe bet that if all the cheese you've had in your life came from a supermarket or a chain restaurant you have never tasted good cheese.
>>7190457
That kind of cheese is for children and company barbecues when you need a lot of cheese for cheap.
American cheese from a deli is actually pretty good, but Euros have such an inferiority complex they can't be bothered to learn the difference.
>>7191005
>American cheese from a deli is actually pretty good,
Yes.
>> but Euros have such an inferiority complex they can't be bothered to learn the difference.
Also yes.
And American Cheese from the deli remains crap compared to proper cheese be that from the US or elsewhere. Unless you're talking about a fancy high-end deli they're selling mass-produced crap like Boars Head, Cracker Barrel, Cabot, etc. It's better than cheese singles but it still sucks compared to the real thing.
>>7191005
>children and company barbecues
Holy shit, I think that was actually the first place I had one of these cheese slices. I say one, what I actually mean was I thought it was so amazing I had about two dozen and then ran around until I threw up. Good times.

The thing I am really worried about is American worker's rights. 10 hour days are normal, frankly, but... does this include commuting? Or the crazy "tipping reduced from wages" system?

Also with the whole tipping thing sure the workers are paid less than minimum wage they on average make 10-15+ dollars per our when you count up the tips. Also literally no one seems to understand the fact that if you work for tips and do not make at least minimum wage the business is legally required to pay you minimum wage

Some normal fresh veggies/produce doesn't have to be any more expensive than frozen if you're comparing like-with-like so far as style/quality goes. Frozen/canned are more convenient because they last longer. Potatoes; tomatoes; celery; onions; carrots; beans... All cheap as fug bought raw where I live. Protein can be harder, but frozen fish is usually pretty cheap and you can find chicken tits on sale occasionally. I don't really fuck with red meat anymore so it's w/e to me.
When I'm getting broke I probably eat healthier than when I'm more flush with cash because I can walk into the store with 10-15 usd and walk out with a backpack full of rice, beans, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, leafy greens and/or other shit.
I mostly agree with what you're saying, tho. And I'll admit that I have the distinct advantage of having learned remedial cooking/the desire to do so. I just think it's a fallacy to say poverty = unhealthy. I think it's correlative but not causation. I assume the correlation between poverty and undereducation is moreso the driving factor.
It takes 20 minutes to cook rice and you can even steam vegetables with it. I live on a pretty tight schedule these days, but it's amazing to me that someone would actually consider it more convenient to eat shitty food for more money and little-no time saved just because it's 'already prepared'...

Smart. I guess if you grew up fat and retarded you would want your kids grow up fat and retarded too. By the way, at what age does a person learn to appreciate nicer food? 18? 21?
Protip: if you're too poor and dumb to teach your kids to enjoy quality things while they're young, you're probably too poor and dumb to raise kids. Do yourself a favor and don't.

Trader Joe's has perfectly good cheese. Sure it won't be award-winning but it's the same quality that Europeans eat on a daily basis.
>>7191792
To answer your question: no. I do not have kids. Nor do I plan to.
I don't know if you're the same poster or not, but the guy I was originally replying to seemed to be saying children don't 'deserve' higher-quality foods because they can't appreciate them; seemingly it's not worth the financial investment to him. I was being satirical & using hyperbole, but I mostly mean what I said. Developing kids should be eating well-balanced diets of high-quality ingredients and the responsibility is on their parents shoulders to introduce these things and teach their importance.

Literally, every supermarket I've been to has a shitload of better cheese than this in the deli section. I didn't even know that Boars Head made cheese.
