Hey, Trippin2.0! Great to run into you, my sweet girl.

I don't think it's laziness in my country, but even people without much income are quite likely to buy processed (packaged, fast food, etc). Couples often both work full time and occasionally a second parttime job. Single parents work 2 or 3 parttime jobs, if they have no childcare help.

Generally, from what I've seen, people who live in a time frenzy will buy the cheaper, prepared food, which of course messes with their health. We still have a lot of unemployment, and the quality of the diet suffers even more when money is short.

Onions come chopped or sliced in jars of plastic packages, sauces in bottles or jars--or as a powder in a package, just add liquid (usually water), heat, and stir.

"You are what you eat" I think is true. It's no wonder so many here are not healthy, truly sick even, suffer from all that stress adds to a bad diet--and I think the stress and pollution (in food, water, air--and "sick buildings" that contain hazardous materials because they were cheap and the builder was greedy) account for the ever-increasing mental illness. Every generation seems less physically and mentally healthy than their parents' generation.

This isn't just in the United States ... most so called 1st world countries that I know about aren't better off. Maybe the southern hemisphere of Earth is relatively okay, but I don't thing long term that the northern hemisphere will be able to recover--not that anyone with the power is doing anything to save it.
