    Nope we’re going the other way. We are bringing back leaded gas and leaded paint, we’re gonna get even more ultra-processed post-food slop. People will look back at McDonald’s meals fondly as high quality cuisine.

      I cook at a higher end place and we genuinely put a shit load of effort into our food quality. It’s harder to even get decent ingredients often now. The expensive better veggie supplier is putting out Sysco level garbage lately. They delivered a 5 pounds of rotten basil

        I’ve noticed this at the consumer level too, places that used to have decent veggies and fruits often are out of stock or just have floppy weak shit. Have to garden yourself or know somebody who does, or go to a farmers market at a small town or something or you aren’t getting anything good. Back to in-season cooking, probably for the best.
