@Totalanimefan: Yeah, talking of staples I don't really know what American staples are, but I think Americans eat a lot of frozen food or pre-cooked/pre-packaged meals? Whenever we cook it's from scratch, but that's also because we have food traditions. Native American food traditions are endangered because settlers didn't bother to learn them, but they didn't exactly follow their own traditions either, so it's like a culture of cooking where there was no culture of cooking. So in the American kitchen everyone cooks as though nobody in their family knows properly how to cook and they've had to come up with how to cook all by themselves. Which is kind of exactly what did happen.

@Totalanimefan: Oh, absolutely; I think even the people who love to cook don't tend to use all the ingredients from scratch though (among white Americans). There's sure to be exceptions but this is a general pattern I noticed. Asian Americans have their own food traditions so for the most part, they're good. I expected white Americans to adopt European and British cooking properly since those are roughly around where they came from to settle. But they haven't really. An Italian would probably balk at what passes for pizza. The one time I visited the US with my family, we went to Seattle and tried pizza in multiple places and they were godawful.
I think your veggies are fine though. But the US is the only country I've heard of where the meat is cheaper than the veggies. And where the dairy industry is so messed up- milk isn't supposed to last that long and most people who have regular dairy from the grocery store develop an intolerance to it.
Apart from animal products it's not that bad I think. Especially as with increasing immigration you have Indian and Asian grocery stores and have the chance to adopt some of those food traditions. And you have the farmer's markets. It's just that the bad is more easily available/accessible to most people. The way American food, and I mean food that's quintessentially American, is known to be burgers and hot dogs (fast food).

@Totalanimefan: Yeah I'm glad there's change coming, although it still breaks my heart that babies are born without basic immunity and digestion boosting bacteria- they're literally starting out with a disadvantage, so even if they grow up health-conscious they have to reckon with that, you know? They've been dealt damage from the start and that's so sad to me.
Poverty is a menace to health too because if you're poor you'll more likely buy cheaper food, which isn't always better. I had a friend on another forum who said she literally couldn't afford fruits or veggies often and so she kept cooking meat when she was hungry. And it was messing with her health. I suggested that she cook oats. Because that was the only other alternative we could think of which would be as cheap and filling, and have carbs for energy.

@Totalanimefan: Yeah I really hope more positive changes come to distribute wealth more equally. Yeah, oats are great! And there are other grains, like rye, that can be included in what people eat so that it's not always white flour they're having.

@Totalanimefan: I hope those become more accessible especially college education and public transport.

There's a lot to look forward to.
Keep going.
