[quote=Anonymous]This is actually a structural and cultural problem.

We moved from DC to western Europe and it is super easy to cook and eat like this because fresh food is so readily available and even the processed food, the ingredients are much more restricted here.

We have a farmers market steps from our house 3x a week. Many organic items. Almost everything is from our country or a country that borders ours. Prices are same as or lower than in the US.

We have easy access to fresh baked bread and buy it multiple times a week.

We have frozen foods, but they tend to be very simple and without preservatives. They are also all labeled with an A to E ranking for how healthy they are.

There's also plenty of highly-processed food available, but I find we just don't need it because other foods are "easy."

Also, people take time to eat meals here sitting down. So yes, you may cook your lunch if you work from home, but you also have a long enough lunch break to do so. And every child eats lunch at school so there's no packing processed foods for lunch.

Our meals look like this:
Plain oatmeal with fresh or frozen berries and honey from the farmers market
Fresh pasta with some roasted vegetables from the farmers market and a bit of cheese made locally
Fresh baked bread with butter and a piece of fruit for snacks
Grilled chicken with roasted vegetables
