re: When did the myth that eating unhealthy processed foods is cheaper than eating healthy?

Did I say that I cooked chicken breast in a slow cooker with rotel? If I did, please point it out
If you think cooking soup is a hard time consuming meal to cook, then your cooking sucks.

While you were cooking the soup you could have also thrown another week's worth of meat in the air fryer. There 3 weeks worth of food in 4 hours, or about an hour a week
Problem is, most people don't want to eat re-heated food for three weeks.
Man can live on warmed up chicken breasts and vegetables alone... but most like to have more variety in life.
Especially in a place like LA.

The issue is with processed food is trans fats, which is a made up cheat to get around reporting how unhealthy shite like Kraft foods are for the consumer.

Hey hey, I never said I ate healthy all the time, just that I meal prep and make my kids eat a variety of things.
I have a homemade spinach lasagna in the freezer too.

The honey mustard shredded chicken is pretty damn good.

Easier to admit you are too lazy to spend a little time cooking healthy meals than make up BS excuses

I'm going to assume I'm just reading this wrong because getting your children to "eat right" is a responsibility, not a luxury. I can't think of very many things that should have priority over the health of your children and good nutrition is the foundation of health.
Yeah, proper parenting can be "a chore".
You are reading it wrong, or perhaps you have no perspective.
My kids are difficult to feed, they are ADD/rowdy/hate sitting still so it takes me and my wife an hour or so to feed them (mostly my little one). As I have said numerous times, I consider us fortunate that I can afford to feed them healthy food even if they ultimately waste it, and that they have parents there to do.
However, poor or single parents are not as fortunate. So I could absolutely see why they go for the “cheap” alternative just as a matter of making sure their kid is fed. I don’t agree with this, and not making excuses for those people, just acknowledging how the “myth” the OP referenced can be substantiated

In any case this thread seems to have [de?]evolved in the 'healthy eaters' shitting on each others diets.

Processed food is deadly, especially industrial seed oils. Eat real food including animal fat.
Dr. Chris Knobbe - 'Diseases of Civilization: Are Seed Oil Excesses the Unifying Mechanism?'
Trans fats were at least somewhat stable. Now they've been replaced in every fast food deep fryer with oil that's much more dangerous.
At high heat, seed oils produce aldehydes including formaldehyde. A thick gunk polymer forms on the bottom of deep fryers that requires industrial cleaning. A scientist for industrial cleaner, Ecolab, said that walls floors and ceilings of fast food restaurants become coated with a shellac like substance that's imperious to sandblasting.
The heated oils are so prone to oxidation that clothes worn by fast food workers often burst into flame in dryers or even after they've been washed and dried.

This is almost every kid under five man.
You've got to be strict.
I remember my mom and dad chewing my butt at the dinner table about sitting completely in my seat. Telling me to quit playing with my food, sit down, eat properly, etc.
I use to have to do the same with our kids til I got their little butts trained. It was alot of work and took alot of persistence and some yelling (and a few spankings). But now they are a bit older and we dont have any issues with them eating a variety and finishing what they get or worst them finishing it later.
I think my wife is worse than the kids at this point, she can be really picky about the way meat is cooked.
Still working on proper eating etiquette with the youngest. Knife and fork swapping, etc.

Not sure how this is getting so lost here. We do this. Every night. And they will learn. I’ve stated this.
But if I was a single dad working the hours I do it would be hard to have the stamina to do this. As there are people in my position, forgive me for having the understanding of how things can go down the road of choosing “cheap” food as there is no risk it will be wasted in the spirit of trying to teach a kid a lesson
Which again, is an attempt to answer the question posed in the OP . If kids had the discipline of a grown man, things may be as simple as the OP suggests.

Just drug them up with amphetamines like every other shitty parent then you won't have to worry about parenting or feeding them.
You've got every excuse in the book to be lazy

I’m not sure how amphetamines will help their appetite

I don’t know. He called or suggested I am fat because I said kids are more difficult to feed than yourself
