"Splurging“ on the absolute cheapest most preservative laiden meat available, cheapeer than fucking Spam, and Gut healthy jucis because they can't afford to go to a doctor.

Fucking ghouls.

You mean the rotisserie chickens that are $5-6, compared to lunch meat being at 10-12/lb? Splurging on that rotisserie chicken purchase?

Headline in two years: Gen Z'ers are splurging on food instead of giving their money to the rich.

"Splurging" on one of the most prolific loss leaders in grocery is certainly one way to say it. We're buying them because it's the cheapest way to eat

So we are not supposed to ....eat?

The wall street journal aren't good journalists.

They cater towards rich people and as such:

1. Grant a sense of superiority through highlighting financial disparity
2. Portray news in terms of how they would affect rich people, like tax breaks being good for the economy (the economy being billionaires for wsj)

Nothing they write is objective

Newspaper: Americans Eat Too Much Ultra processed food.

Same Newspaper: Look at these little shits splurging on veggies and chicken.

I make black bean based veggie patties; not because I'm a vegetarian, but because a can of black beans is cheap. I call them struggle burgers. I can't wait to be demonized for buying fucking beans. Fuck this timeline.

Same energy

Bitch, it is cheaper to buy the fully cooked rotisserie chicken at the grocery store than the UNCOOKED WHOLE CHICKEN.

Don't fucking tell me how to math, you assholes made corporations people, so I think we have very different ideas of what is important in this world.

If you saved that $5 instead of wasting it on food every day, then in 275 years you could afford the average house!

Rotisserie chicken is one of the most affordable chicken options....

It’s kind of wild how everyday groceries get framed as luxuries. Sometimes people are just trying to eat something convenient and affordable, not make a statement about their finances.
