To clarify:

ProtonMail. I don't hate it, but their choices in what to monetize is bizarre to me, like the ability to make more folders than three, you have to pay to have more folders. Also, it's not a perfect mail system, you're going to not get or be able to send 100% of mail because there are mail services people or businesses use that simply don't register when using ProtonMail.

In an age where there are tons and tons of things out there that is a subscription, paying for the ability to have more features that have been normalized would turn off some people.

Ah, I see. I thought you meant like heavily processed when you used the word "processed" but you meant the "something has been done to it" kind of processed :D

For what its worth, frozen stuff is usually equally as healthy as fresh stuff. I use like 90% frozen stuff because I'm lazy and don't want to walk every other day to the shop, that is over 400 meters away from me. Lately my favorite snack has been to roll some frozen green beans in oil, salt and pepper on them and throw them into the oven until they are brown.

I'm also extremely lazy to cook. Now that I don't have a girlfriend to cook for anymore, I just throw some stuff into the pan/pot, let them be there for 30-40minutes, mix it up with rice or quinoa and stuff that in my mouth. Takes very little effort, pretty cheap and because I keep a semi low heat, I don't have to keep my eye on the stuff all the time so I can go bother people in IRC and not worry about burning anything. If I have extra time, I use the slow cooker thing I have, throw shit in there and leave it be for a few hours.

Yeah a lot of frozen vegetables are fine, especially when cooked in a casserole or something, but not on their own.

I know it's not practical to avoid all processed stuff, not that I want to, and a lot of it is healthy enough. It's just all the stuff with reasonable amounts of salt/sugar/etc and still tastes good tends to cost more. (even then you have to be careful, a lot the stuff marketed as healthier really isn't. Exhibit A; Diet Soda)

It seems protein is the latest trend, a lot of stuff is highlighting how much protein they have in them. Protein is great, but I'll get that from the regular sources not a dense candy bar or meat stick. Gosh even some milks (that aren't specifically protein drinks) are highlighting protein content now lol.

These days I feel its important to remember that doing some is better than doing nothing. I sometimes feel like I'm being screamed at for not being vegan enough, not eating healthy enough, not recycling enough.. I do all those things as much as I possibly can. But I guess thats just a consequence of online social media virtue signalling, everyone is trying to out do everyone else by screaming into the void about how well they are doing with not eating bacon or whatever the fuck is the latest trend.
