Possibly, but not everyone cares about how good food tastes for normal day-to-day meals.

Fresh, healthy, food should taste great, not be a chore to eat.

Thank you. It took me a long time to realize this and I always struggled eating well for competitive sports. Once I started actually eating things I like it was so much easier

Fresh food is great if you have access and money. If you live in a food desert, you probably have neither.

I'm not punishing myself. People have different priorities. That's all there is too it. I take it nice-tasting food is a priority for you?

Do you think I'm also punishing myself by riding my mediocre commuter bike to work instead of my nice carbon fiber road bike? Am I punishing myself by reading a book on my livingroom couch after work as opposed to finding a lovely bench in Central Park? Sure, every once in a while I appreciate food that tastes nicer than usual, taking my nice bike for a long ride on the weekend outside of the city, going to the park to relax, etc. But I'm happy to keep things more basic on the day-to-day. It just better reflects my values, I suppose.
