The Picard ManeuverJust the basics
FRedditOver the last 10 years or so, some kinds of convenience foods have gone up a lot. Like some types of
“value meal” is over $10. That’s a bad scene if you have several people to feed.
You can beat that by cooking your own, but if you have been working a 12 hour shift that is a harsh scenario.
It just seems like people, and I’m referring to the U.S., getting food should not be such a press.
NobsiThe big problem is convenience is being shoved down our throats.
10 Years back, what was there that was convenient? Bread and then stack something on it.
Now every brand is trying to shove “REALLY EASY AND FAST MEAL FOR WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE 20 SECONDS TO EAT” down yours.
20 Years ago we just cooked and if it had to be quick we cooked something small.
I somewhat agree but your time scale is way off.
It’s been exactly this way for at least the last 20-30 years. 20 years ago was 2003, if you showed me this photo and told me it was from the turn of the millennium I wouldn’t bat an eye. The 90s was crazy with all these fast brands and snacks. Everyone’s freezer was filled with totinos pizza rolls.
Arguably longer to be honest. I can’t remember a time where frozen microwave junk food didn’t dominate the grocery stores and TV advertising. I wouldn’t hesitate to believe an argument that it’s been like this since the early 70s.
My time perception is off and additionally i do not live in the US. The steady and very aggressive push towards highly processed foods that are “quick and easy” never really came to Europe.
But i have a lot of US Based Customers that i talk to a lot and in recent years the topic of time scarcity has almost gotten to be a daily occurrnce.
