Of course not, but people who are poor and fat are the way they are because they make impulse decisions to because of their need for instant gratification, like eating a 40 unit box of Bagel Bites in one sitting or taking out a line of credit at Best Buy because they NEED the new iPhone. They'd rather open a can and toss it down their top hatch than spend the half hour to bake a cheaper, tastier and healthier version.

Those were pretty dank, actually. I remember getting the Chef Boyardee (Sp?) Beefaroni and Lasagna in the microwave cups all the way back in First Grade. One of those piping hot and half a sandwich is a meal fit for a king when you're a little kid.

There is something a bit nostalgic about the taste, too. I mean, I know its kinda trash sauce, but you get pasta (Which is work intensive to make fresh, but cheap) and beef (Which is easy to make, but expensive) already done and cooked, and you get it both cheap and convenient.

>> No.14790192

>>14790158
Pasta takes a lot of time to make. The fact that its cheap really doesn't matter - we can clearly see that in the economy of today, people are willing to liberally trade money for convenience. They want their time back - because you already have to sleep eight hours a day, and work a soulless job for another eight hours a day, and most of the last eight hours is going to be spent doing shit you don't want to do. I know its hard for people who are really invested in cooking to understand, but try to put yourself in the shoes of others. This is something you're going to have to allot time to every day if you commit to eating right regularly - previously not a problem when you had a spouse who did not work, and whose primary jobs were cleaning and cooking, but now a big problem when nobody even has a marriage, much less can live without working.

For most people, trading health or money for convenience is acceptable because time is the most important resource left. Money is just money, and your health will trickle away regardless of how you eat - there are chemical poisons in the water you drink and the air you breathe, so you're still going to lose your hair in your 40s and end up gaunt and emaciated in your 70s even if you do take the extra time to make fresh pasta.

TL;DR People can things you would not normally can, like bread, pasta and whole hams, because the number of people on the planet who would rather buy a meal in a can and go about their business than trade that time for cheaper and healthier food is actually a huge majority of people, and you can make a buttload of money that way.

Dollar Tree has had the classic edition of Chef Boyardee's lasagna over the last year or so. Some of the best canned food you'll have.

>> No.14791119

>>14789168
True. My first job was working at an Italian restaurant in Colorado. The ravioli was one of the best sellers on the menu. What the customers didn't know was that the ravioli itself was Boyardee. It came in a 10 pound can packed in brine. The cooks drained the can and dumped the pasta into the steam table. The sauce was made on site, but that's about it. It took the waitress longer to take the order than it took the cook to put it together.

It's the same type of garbage sloppa as normal chef boyardee. It's always been garbage sloppa. Its existence owes itself to the fact that Hector was contracted to produce army food during WW2 and had tons of excess supply left over.

You are eating sloppa meant for people who didn't even like it on the front lines.

There are more steps and more dirty dishes to his retarded sloppa recipe than if he had just assembled lasagnas straight in the baking trays like a human being. How does he do it? Truly a national treasure

It's not even lasagne, just lasagne noodles submerged in their generic "meat sauce". This and their "spaghetti" are barely passable as food. When I was poor and had to eat this shit I stuck to the ravioli or the mini ravioli and meatballs, since they felt more substantial than just cans of mush.

I live in a sharehouse with roommates I want to have as little to do with as possible, which means I want to be in or around the kitchen the minimal amount of time I can (lol). I keep like six of these in my room on a shelf over the weekend and that means I only have to be out of my room for like 5 minutes tops. Also keep canned chicken breast in there and dump it in when the soup/pasta is still hot so it cooks a little. Plus a can is usually 400 calories or less so I'm not overeating. I can't cook in the first place, so I'm only really eating for purposes of staying alive, and I don't really feel like lugging bags of apples & carrots bananas home constantly, or having to deal with produce waste after. Heat up some soup, rinse out the can and toss it, eat, rinse out the bowl and finito with no further excursion or exertion necessary. Some people live sad pathetic lives, and shit like this really makes things easier for us.
