From these humorless responses it seems the hyperbole of my last sentence has been lost, but I stand by the sentiment that educating yourself about healthy eating and then executing a varied and healthful diet (including the fully loaded time cost of planning, shopping more often for fresh ingredients, cooking, and cleaning up) is a serious undertaking that few people have the time or inclination to pull off on a regular basis. This is complicated by the reality that nutrition is a field of many opinions, conventional wisdom and anti-conventional health movements (raw foodism, veganism, vegetarianism, keto, paleo, etc), and almost no reliable truths.

Everyone here saying anything along the lines of "ZOMG, my healthy meals like toast+juice only take me 15 minutes each" has no idea what they are talking about. The list of healthy whole foods (those that don't come out of boxes or bags) that can be prepped and cooked and cleaned in 15 minutes is a short one. I know because I spend a lot of time planning, shopping, and cooking a variety of foods. If anyone cares, right now I eat 90% paleo with occasional dairy and legumes. For years I was involved in veganism/vegetarianism, but quit when I realized it was more like a food religion than a rational healthy choice.

Think of the average grocery store. All that crap lining the aisle shelves is going to get bought by somebody, and even if we allow for the longer "residence time" of packaged food products compared to fresh produce/meats we can infer that the average shopper is leaving with the preparations for a depressingly monotonous and nutritionally poor diet of mostly corn-derivatives, flour, and sugar. If you had to empty out a standard grocery store one cart at a time, the average haul would be far worse than anything the writer admits eating. As fun as it is to get self righteous about food ideology, anybody who actually thinks the writer's diet is poor in comparison to the average American diet isn't thinking far enough beyond their own experience.
