Mice fed fast food get noticeably stupider, scientists warn

I think it’s funny that we can communicate with each other across the world instantly via the Internet and put a man on the Moon but getting nutritious food - the most basic need of any human - is still difficult and time consuming.

Do you want a PS4 controller? Press a button and Amazon will ship it to you in a day.

Do you want healthy food? Oh sorry you need to go out, buy the ingredients yourself, prepare it yourself, and clean yourself.

I know what you’re thinking, what about restaurants? They’re overly expensive and almost all of them are designed to maximize cheap and addicting ingredients like sugar and fat and minimize expensive and nutritious ingredients like meat.

It’s just sad, we have the “bread and circus” stuff readily available but essentials like food, housing, and healthcare are unbelievably expensive and time consuming.

And the alternatives that do exist are too damn expensive. Like celebrities hiring professional chefs for their ultra diet. Or healthy food subscription services that often have questionable quality.

I was really hoping that with food home delivery startups this situation will be solved. But alas, most restaurants optimize for cost as you mentioned.
