There is an ungodly number of people out there who's parents couldn't cook, who never learned to cook, and have no clue how to cook. It's actually kind of sad. They need to bring back home economics in school though. For the well off it's dumb and laughable, but for the working poor and below it's kinda a nutritional crisis.

If you don't know how to wing it when cooking then you'll gently caress up the precise poo poo a lot more, because you won't have any idea of why various ingredients are used. Which is the problem. Too many people have no clue how things interact when you cook, and freak out about following recipes like they're a holy mandate.

You'll spend more money making food taste bad then you will just providing bulk staple goods. Like, I don't know, bags of rice and beans at every post office.

wateroverfire posted:That doesn't seem obviously true. Why do you think so? Because the inputs for food are cheeper then any processed end product, and to make a nutri bar you have to take things like grains and process them together. Where as if you just have bags of the raw input you can skip the costs related to all those steps.

No, you're not replacing the demand for those staples because the economy doesn't care if the person who buys all of those stables is G or not. This is basic economics. Also who the gently caress is going to load up on raw beans and rice all day at the post office unless they have to. Like, do public water fountains eliminate the market for running water in homes?

http://quickstats.nass.usda.gov/results/40359582-ECB3-3163-B8E2-EB57715C0F28 3 billion dollars is the total sales value of an entire years rice crop. So even if every single grain of rice was bought for and distributed by the government, which wouldn't even remotely happen, it would be one of the cheapest government programs ever. Literally, no one cares, it's not worth the extra money to make horrible tasting food.

wateroverfire posted:How many calories of rice does that equate to? Kind of curious. Go do a search like I did but for tonnage and multiply it up.
