Get ground beef in the supermarket, it’s cheap and takes 7 minutes to cook. If that’s all you eat you can’t be fat and out of shape. You also won’t be hungry.

At some point blaming society isn’t going to cut it.

I promise you if ground beef is all you eat you will be much worse than fat and out of shape.

At some point "have willpower" isn't going to cut it. That point was decades ago.

Blaming society sounds fatalistic, but yes we absolutely can change society. There are mechanisms to do it, and the first step to utilizing any of them is people getting pissed off about the state of things and talking to other people about how pissed off they are about it.

I’ve done plenty of grinding it out in my life with no energy or time to spare.

Even in that place you can do better than ground beef.

Get an instant pot and invest in some rudimentary cooking skills. I’ve spent a whole year making variations on the same dish in 15 minutes, using that cooking as end-of-day stress relief. Shopping for the same handful of things once a week.

It wasn’t fine dining but it was healthy, cheap, and a few steps up from ground beef. Come now.

If the only option to stay healthy is to regularly eat ground beef from the supermarket wouldnt you say society has f**ed things up pretty badly :)
