    Idk the only jam I eat is one made by my grandma from fruits bought from farmers on the market so there is that. I once tried the supermarket one and they are all horrible and kinda synthetic

    I don’t really care if ingredients are theoretically safe no more than I would eat a theoretically nutritious protein powder daily.

    I avoid food that was made in factory generally it always feels synthetic and like a cheap, horrible substitute compared to the rich flavour of the real thing.

    So it is kind of dystopic for me to see such poor substitute for ‘food’ being the only choice. You could as well as go all in and eat some flavoured nutrient NASA pasta.

    What else is fake in this world of ours we don’t even notice anymore? How much fakeness one can take until it’s no longer life but only survival?

      Homemade jams made by grandmothers are popular in the US, and mass produced products are at least available where you are, if they’re in supermarkets. So someone is buying them. Neither are “the only choice”. This isn’t a black and white “the USA versus everywhere else” thing

        Right. I prefer home made fucking whatever, but you know what? I don’t have the time, and if I have the time, I don’t have the energy.

        I just worked midnight to noon for an issue on my one day off.

        I’m fucking tired. Store bought is fine, I’m too tired to enjoy home made stuff.
