From my short visit to north America, I was shocked how little people made from ingredients and how much from ready-to-eat instant stuff.
Yup we eat a lot of ultra processed nonsense because we waste hours a day everyday just getting around the country and then even more time listening to pointy headed bosses. Our lives kinda suck it and most of it revolves around our jobs. The US is basically an industry-run dystopia.
My wife and I try to be better and buy real ingredients to make food, but after a long day at a shitty job it’s hard to find the energy to make a real meal instead of throwing some frozen rubbish into the oven for a few minutes.
If you buy arugula, that’s an unprocessed ingredient. If you buy ready-made pickles, that’s a processed product.

Eating vegetables raw and plain is an acquired taste in today’s world. I got tired of steaming them a while ago.
