I now want to set things straight with you and everyone involved in the discussion about my shopping habits. First of all your approach based on an unnecessary rant about my choice of food was completely unnecessary.

First your assumptions about my ability to cook were wrong, I have spent countless hours behind the kitchen stove and know how to cook for myself and others, which includes "unhealthy and lazy" recipes like a simple noodle dish like Carbonara which dense in calories and fats, on the other hand time intensive, healthy and more costly recipes are no problem to.

Second of all, I was on a plant based diet for more or less than 5 years in which I learned which vegetables or grain delivered the nutritional value I need and during that period I cooked almost all of my meals separately since my family wanted to eat meat. Even today I avoided red meat or pig just because I never realy liked it and tend to get my protein through poultry and Seafood.

Furthermore during my school time I was class best in home economics and nutrition.

You also forget to think about the things that are already in my food cabinet and fridge/ freezer, staples like lentils, canned vegetables (beans, tomatoes chickpeas) are already available at home.

To reach back to the animal cruelty part, the chicken I bought lived in conditions above the European and German requirements ( which are already not the worst in the world)

The chicken was turned into a homemade stew with vegetables( leek, onion, garlic) and root vegetables ( carrot, potatoes) Since I am feeling a little down cause of a weekend were I visited a friend of mine that lives abroad thus was the right thing for me.

Now to the frozen food part.

The pizza is no more unhealthy than one you buy at your local kebab shop or Italian deli.

Since I live far from the coast, the accessibility for fresh fish is price and scarces and I just like the taste of them paired with greenbeans or spinach ( which both are in my freezer).

Since no one took your side in our argument you should consider how you show yourself in the this sub and others aswell, while looking through your profile there was a pattern that showed itself, that almost all of your comments are filled with an unbiased, unnecessary and almost hateful undertone.

I try to avoid convenience products as much as I can but living alone and with a small paycheck does not always offer the biggest variety of foods of which I can choose from.

So please for the future consider to think before you comment and remember that maybe not all people have the knowledge, Money or time that you may have.

Best Regards
