    the real “meanwhile in africa” is that they actually cook veggies and fruit in a way that’s appealing, they don’t just fucking steam some broccoli and expect kids to enjoy it.

      A big part is that the processed foods of America are make us have drug like cravings for things we consume too much of, salt, oil sugar, etc.

      And we’re dependant on them much of the time because of our subsist to work lifestyle.

      It’s expensive for it to be easy to eat well in America. While the owners order postmate’s cobb salads, have household staff, and eat out with abandon, in addition to being on their own time, eating healthy while poor involved dodging endless temptation to eat crap imstead while prepping and cooking meal kits before and/or after work, lengthening the time off work devoted to work. You can say "it’s important so do it or you’re just irresponsible, but when time is a commodity of survival for the poor, taking care of yourself is often the first priority to be sold off.

      Well steaming is certainly a step up from boiling it for a full hour like their parents did, for “safety.”

      Do I only like raw broccoli or have I never had properly prepared broccoli?

      I either need to eat my veggies pan-fried with bacon or ham, or in a puree with seasoning and olive oil.

      Almost no plain steamed or boiled food is tasty…

  If you struggled to eat vegetables as a kid then your parents probably were bad at cooking.

    Also, vegetables for the most part have continued to improve in flavor as time goes on. Selective breeding and stuff like that.

      This, and skillfully cooked vegetables become more accessible with the Internet’s recipes/advice and take-out food.
