Making nutritious food that tastes good on a budget just requires compromise. Fatty meats are cheap and tasty, but they're not great for you. Legumes are cheap and healthy, but most people don't find them very exciting. If you use both, you get something better.
America seems to have gone all in on the the "lean meat" route, which results in many meals which are barely cheap and not good. Of course, my culinary opinion is based on my personal taste preferences. But I mean, like, burritos.
- thaumasiotes 8y ago> America seems to have gone all in on the the "lean meat" route I'm constantly complaining to my family that meat here (in the US... more precisely, the Bay Area) isn't tough enough. They tell me I'm weird, and meat in the US is soft because that's how Americans like it. (Lest the phrasing confuse people, all of us are Americans.)
