Most of the expensive stuff, atleast in my country (Germany), is always crap. I mean it’s really just trash and shouldn’t be called food at this point.
And while we have a large amount of trash from america (twinkies, pop tarts,… etc.) that is overpriced asf (who buys a twinky for 3 €?!) we have a alrge amount of “superfood” that has a vegan label on it that is also overpriced asf.
If people would just stick with the basics and eat healthy and not fall for marketing scams (vegan, high protein etc. labels) life would be easier.
The people who complain about prices are the people who actually buy pop tarts for 9 € a box, finished fully processed mac and cheese from USA that is at 6 € a box and a coca cola for 3 €.
I was in Croatia a few weeks ago and bought the food myself and it is super cheap if you just eat how a normal human should eat. I was hitting more than 1.6 g of protein/ kg bodyweight on a budget and I still am. And that without buying protein powder.
In general it’s a positive if people boycott food scams though. If people keep that up for another 3 weeks they will buy the first coca cola and spit it back out because their tastebuds healed in the boycott phase and now they know it’s the worst drink that is produced.
