Is there something wrong with rice and beans? I eat both of those daily. If the only thing that gives you pleasure is a fat and salt filled cheeseburger, that’s a separate issue.
And anyway, this argument went from “it’s too expensive” to “it takes too much time” to “it’s not good”. We can just agree to disagree. No one is forcing you to eat something you don’t want.
That’s great for you if you want to live on nothing but rice and beans. I hope that’s not the only thing you feed your kids if you have any. Because they would be forced to eat something they might not want.
And from the very beginning I suggested that saying poor people should just eat rice and beans all the time is just saying they deserve to suffer a lack of a varied diet because they can’t afford one, can’t find the food and don’t have time to cook. And since they don’t, climate change is their fault.
Blaming poor people for having a diet consisting of more than two things or else they’re being unethical or whatever is just a cruel outlook.
I’m sure this is a bad faith argument and you don’t really think “rice and beans” means literally only rice and beans boiled in plain water, but just in case, you can throw in a couple veggies. Or not, since you live in a food desert that only serves McDonald’s, working 2 jobs to put cheeseburgers on the table for your kids so you don’t even have time to slice an onion. Sorry for being cruel 😊.
Ah right. Vegetables, known to be highly available in food deserts.
And, of course, there’s zero steps between a hamburger and rice, beans and veggies. Like, I don’t know, letting your kids have a candy bar. Or scrambled eggs. Those things are totally out of the question.
That sure sounds like what you’re saying. Either you live off of rice, beans and lentils and maybe vegetables if you’re poor if those are all available in your area in the half an hour a day you have to prepare a meal and never give your kid a candy bar or you’re an unethical person who is responsible for climate change.
And, of course, people in Canada solved that problem so people in the U.S. can too. Just like how the U.S. has socialized medicine.

Candy bars?! Who am I, the king of England? They’ll eat mashed boiled lentils and be grateful.
