Even if you limit the consideration to foods that can be eaten as-is with zero preparation or tools, grocery stores still BTFO of fast food. Anybody saying that fast food is cheap is deranged. You want fried chicken and you don't have a kitchen? The grocery store will sell you 2x as much for the same price as a KFC. If you want a sandwich, you can make a dozen for the same price as one from a sandwich shop. If you can stomach the thought of eating something green, the produce aisle is cheap as dirt. It's an internet meme to say that some people can't afford fresh produce. Absolute horse shit. I can buy a bag of carrots with the change I find on the ground walking to the store. Produce is the cheapest food there is.

If you think all of that is too boring to tolerate, then scrounge up a can opener and the possibilities explode.

You're rebutting something I made zero comment on.

There never seems to be any good way to share my thoughts and get meaningful engagement. I was not suggesting fast food is cheap.

I blog about food somewhat frequently. It has no traction and likely never will have traction, much less engagement.

Sometimes I say a thing on hn and it gets some kind of useful engagement.

I understand your inference given the context, but you are replying to stuff I didn't comment on at all.
