  • What is everyone doing to survive this food inflation?

  • I agree with you, but it seems that for many people, convenience is more important than almost anything else. Which is exactly how the food industry makes most of their profits.

  • Also, edamame. Which is just young soy beans. So good!

    1. Don't eat out.
    2. Buy staples and spices and learn to make tasty dishes from them. Pretty much every culture on this planet has figured out super tasty and nutritious dishes from the staples that are available to them. Learn from them. (This will take time, as in it's a long term goal, but it's so worth it.)
    3. Don't buy processed products of any kind. Pre-processing terribly bad ingredients for convenience is how the food industry takes your money. Buy real food.
    4. If you can, don't buy meat. If you can't, buy as little as possible. It will be better for you, for your wallet, for the animals, and for the planet. But also don't buy any preprocessed meat replacement products (see point 3).

  • Very nice! Thanks a lot!

  • "If I can't win an argument, I must change my mind." Do you agree with this view?

    Jump

  • An argument is not a fight that must be won. It is a conversion with an exchange of ideas and opinions. The world is a tiny little bit more complex than "wrong/right", and so are the conversations and differing viewpoints.

  • Those in countries with universal healthcare, what's it like?

    Jump

  • Yes, see the last sentence of my previous comment. Premiums are either partially or completely covered by the state for those that can't pay them. Also keep in mind that while 4000 CHF might seem expensive, salaries in Switzerland are also quite high. A supermarket cashier makes ~60k, qualified workers twice that.

  • Those in countries with universal healthcare, what's it like?

    Jump

  • I don't know what to say, I can't imagine it being any other way.

    In Switzerland, it works like this: you choose your deductible, between 300 CHF (330 EUR) and 2500 CHF (2730 EUR) per year. Lower deductible means higher premiums and vice versa. A typical premium for a 2500 deductible might be 4000 CHF per year (4360 EUR). The insurance companies are private, and they compete, but, the insurance terms are fixed by the state by law - so it doesn't really matter which insurance company you choose. There is zero bullshit like in the USA where, once you need something, they go "ah well you see on page 32478234 of our terms it says you can get rekt, actually". If you need medical services, you get them. It is the law.

    Insurance is compulsory. People who can't afford the premium get subsidies by the state. People who don't earn any money for any reason get the entire premium paid for by social services.

  • The capitalism part is always funny. Depending on who you talk to, it is either a capitalist paradise or a socialist paradise. Probably because it has a lot of both. Roughly 50% of the economy is in the hands of state or state-owned companies. On the other hand, companies can also fire employees without needing a reason. There are large and powerful unions, but there are no rights to strike. There is mandatory state-regulated health insurance for everyone which covers basically everything, but it's provided through private insurances. Lots capitalism-socialism "contradictions" for those who don't know how the country actually works, and don't want to spend the time to do so.

    So people tend to pick what fits their beliefs so that they can criticise the country, usually to make themselves feel better wrt their jealousy of its wealth, stability and beauty.

  • Switzerland is far from perfect, but compared to its neighbours France, Italy, Germany, has been "good". No wars, no genocides, no torture, no fascism, no colonies.
