- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]

Dayum! Meat culture summed up in one sentence.
I remember 50% vegetables, 30% carbs, 15% protein, 5% other from somewhere.
Another place (especially USA) we're falling down is snacking foods, like prepackaged chips. They're designed to make you consume more while not providing anything of value to our diets. And not so surprising, the wanting to snack constantly goes away when I'm able to cook and consume food made with real whole ingredients. Even jarred sauces or canned vegetables are lacking /something/ vital.
Frozen veg and a bag of potatoes has become a cornerstone of my cooking.
Certain produce like tomatoes I try to buy the multicolored heritage versions. Even produce is suffering from enshitification with the modern versions losing flavor and nutrition in favor of appearance, shelf life, ship ability, etc.
Anyway, I went on a high rambling rant. Sorry, I'll go hit my pipe again before i start some aluminum origami
I've watched documentaries where they touched on it. I don't think it's a crackpot theory at all.
I used to have a friend that gardened (tbh it was weed) and he did a lot with mixing nutrients for his babies, commercial fertilizer doesn't put nutrition back into the soil or the plants in ways we can benefit. They're only designed to benefit the plants in ways that are profitable for them.
The most satisfying food I've had came from my relatives gardens that had healthy compost piles. On our own, my parents used chemical fertilizers and the results were lacking.
