It’s addictive, so your taste will adapt to what you regularly have. It’s entirely possible to train your body to love instant, you just need to stick with it.

"I only eat dollar store steak and your body needs calories so your taste will adapt."

You can say this about literally any food. Nonsense.

If you remove predicates (“it’s addictive”) you can reduce anything to the absurd

I didn't remove it I replaced it with needing calories. It's not reductionist to point out that some things are better than others, even when you're used to the worse option.

OK sure. If you remove one predicate and change it with something completely different, you can invalidate any assertion. gg

As a German... do.. do your dollar stores actually have steaks?

Scary thought.

Yes, some do, but they’re not actually a dollar. Which only makes it slightly better?

I'm not actually American, just pandering examples to the audience. A pound shop is what we call them in Ireland. Americans wouldn't know what that is.
