This should be the main point, even if it was true that everything in America was nothing but woodshavings and sugar, we have the freedom and ease of access to do whatever we want after a couple of youtube videos and some quick shopping. Not forced to grow 4 peppers a year on a dirty eastern european balcony, I have a medium amount of land and can go wild at my leisure.American born abroad here. When I returned to America, my first job at a large workplace was at a USPS processing facility. I walked into the breakroom and there was a 300+ lbs woman with a sleeve of crackers and a can of spray cheese.
I had lived in quaint villages with butcher shops and coffee houses so the reality of the situation was lost on me until I saw that. What I learned is that many people in America, mostly the working poor, have no idea what food is.
Bake your own bread. It isn't that hard. I am learning to make my own cheese and cold cuts too. Without an expensive specialty shop everything you buy is shit. There are plenty of videos to help you learn how to make real food. You can get a good breadmaker at a thrift store for $20 if you don't have the time to knead.
Here is the best easy bread recipe. Perfect for dipping into sauces or slathering with honey and butter. They are better than many bakeries and no kneading.
