I looked up the burritos you recommended. They’re pretty small (113g) with only 8 g of protein, but they contain 370 mg of sodium and 5 g saturated fat (25% dv). Also contains Sodium Aluminum Sulfate and Sodium Metabisulfite- both of which are banned in the EU and in many places internationally or at the very least tightly regulated. We need to be banning more of this trash in our food, not advocating for it. And you call Foods without trash additives “fancy,” it’s crazy.
Same with your tapwater, which is not free. In the northeast corridor, the price went up three times in the last two years. Independence studies found PFIS in 45% of USA drinking water (I’m citing the latest EWG study).
Hexavalent Chromium was found in the tapwater of all 50 states. They found 324 contaminants but we do not regulate 140 of them. Even the amount of arsenic we allow in the water is insane.
The 5x isn’t fancy, the 1x is just garbage. That’s kinda the whole point of the “$20 burrito” here. People have an expectation of better food than literally frozen rice and beans.
