    Walmart frozen burritos. They are incredibly cheap, by weight almost comparable to cheap staples like pasta or rice. I can toast them on the pan and add some fire hot sauce. Tastes good. Easy to make. Inexpensive. Only downside is that there’s no way it’s good for you.

      “Only downside is that there’s no way it’s good for you.”

      That’s a big ‘only downside’. You should check how much salt is in those things.

      (Why can’t they make processed foods healthy?)

          Saw that to health and wellness industry of 135billion annually in the US. Even if it doesn’t sell as often it sells at much much much higher prices. Health has gone capitalism too.

            McDonald’s annual revenue for 2023 was $25.494B, a 9.97% increase from 2022. McDonald’s annual revenue for 2022 was $23.183B, a 0.17% decline from 2021. McDonald’s annual revenue for 2021 was $23.223B, a 20.9% increase from 2020.

            That’s for just one chain. Sure, I’m not saying there’s no health food market, but it’s a lot smaller. It doesn’t sell as well. Which is what I said.

        Salt is an inexpensive preservative. Without it… Not sure what else could be used.
