>'Struggle meals' and Hamburger Helper are trending because food is so expensive >A quarter of Canadians are struggling with food insecurity, says Food Banks Canada >So-called "struggle meals" are trending right now as consumers grapple with the high price of food and seek affordable meal options. It's a new term for an old solution — struggle meals are inexpensive and simple, often made from cheap items or what might already be in your pantry. >"Thirty cent ramen packs are pretty easy to dress up," suggested someone on the popular Cooking subreddit recently. >In Canada, sales of packaged frozen and dry food goods such as canned fish, beans, rice, pasta, and frozen meats and pizzas, have increased by 10.4 per cent between the first quarter of 2023 and 2025, according to Statistics Canada. >"We're in a time of such incredible uncertainty," said Elaine Power, a professor in the school of kinesiology and health studies at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., who researches issues related to class, food and health. >"Maybe the cute videos give people a bit of comfort that they're not alone, but it's a symptom of the growing problem of food insecurity, that people really can't afford the food that they need," Power told CBC News. >Canada's annual food price report forecasted that in 2025, overall prices would increase three to five per cent — working out to the average family of four spending $16,833.67 on food in 2025, an increase of up to $801.56 from last year. >In August, Canada's grocery inflation rate rose 3.5 per cent compared to the same period last year, and Food Banks Canada reported last week that a quarter of Canadians are struggling with food insecurity. >"The bottom is falling out of our social safety net and we should be paying attention to these diagnostics rather than just hoping this problem goes away," Huggins said. https://archive.today/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/struggle-meals-trend-1.7646169

>>46700 I wouldn't call Hamburger Helper a "struggle meal" unless you're not adding hamburger. It's an easy or lazy meal but it's not down at the level of Ramen or other food you buy when you're broke.

>>46700 Not my problem. I am a Capitalist. Those pieces of shit communists deserve to die for being inferior. I live in luxury thanks to my superior intellect and ideas that allowed me to actually earn a good and comfortable life very early in my age, and I will leave my wealth to my children so they can also live in comfort and luxury, unlike the children of those scum.

Why didn't importing a million 3rd world people that eat off the floor make food cheap and available? Why do they need so much labor anyway, 90% of jobs was farming before the agricultural revolution so they should halve roughly 80% of the population doing nothing, combined with automation you should really only need 10% of the population working. Instead people are working more, for what? The fuck are they all doing?
