No you’re not curious lol You’re doing textbook sea lioning

Go find someone else to mildly anmoy

I think its a fair question from a certain perspective.

However, the law requires that the package contents contain at least as much as stated. If humidity is an issue, it’s up to the manufacturer to factor that in. Besides, this is dry pasta my friend.

I also bought salami. It was 13 g short. It’s produced in the plant 4km from me.

There are no excuses to short the customer and it is illegal.

Have you considered that this is not a “me” problem.

Hey, that’s actually not a half bad idea I think I’ll try it!

However this brings the new concern to the surface, I’ve recently read that Google is starting to purge older results. I have seen this personally when I have tried to find articles or subjects I know exist, I know I found on Google to begin with, and they have completely disappeared from Google.

It’s like the entire Web went to shit in 6 months.

Last week I was researching hot tubs and saunas and so forth, as I was gifted a 10 visit spa pass.

Top result was rambling and obviously AI generated, packed with keywords and very little information presented in haphazard way, that was telling me that the ideal water temperature for maximum therapeutic benefit in a hot tub is 130-140F.

Yeah no problem. Once I get used to 140F water I’ll work my way towards something hotter, perhaps boiling peanut oil.

So many people attacking OP and perhaps not remembering there was a time when nearly all flat panel TVs came on a pedestal mount. The designs were largely changed to mitigate claims and liability.

Yes, it “is” a case of convenience foods make the price go up.

Obviously I was not comparing apples to apples because I chose beef as the comparison which is vastly more expensive than the constituent ingredients of the prepackaged food.

I can make those burgers myself for about 1 to 2 dollars of the veggie/legume/rice ingredients so let’s get real here.

It’s only really fair to compare when you consider the price at OPs store.

Myself, I’m looking at the cost of the burger patties and I know that in my region the price of 1 lb of ground beef relative to this convenient product would be 1/3rd

I think the other side that doesn’t get explored very often is how convenience food makers have gotten everybody hooked and unable to cook anymore.

Now that that is generally locked-in behavior in our society, the price goes through the roof.

I know people that literally do not know how to make rice because it’s “too hard”.

We should acknowledge that grocery prices have gone up in that price-gouging is rampant. We should also acknowledge that most of people’s money spent at the grocery store is to exchange hundreds of dollars of extra money, for minutes less preparation.

In this picture of this person paid $10 for a pound of “burger”. A pound of ground beef or tofu is a third that price. It takes a minute to slap a couple patties together or to slice off a few slabs, dry them and fry them.

I really feel like we need to enhance this conversation. I think a lot of people don’t want to have it because they want to have the convenience but not the price and it’s just not sustainable anymore. I think people need to look at their own dietary lifestyle, and consider what they’re trading for that convenience.
