Milk these days in America at least is awful. It will fuck with your testosterone levels from all the growth hormones and anti biotics. Along with the estrogenic gmo grain feed they completely live off of. So either grass fed milk or raw milk is ideal. If you. Can't get that it's hardly an essential.

Hemp milk has just as many vitamins and minerals and lots of protein

Thanks - noted. I think it does make sense to spend more money on higher-quality core ingredients, like milk and fruit and nuts, for sure, and in terms of value you largely get what you see. Completely unlike, for example a bar of chocolate that costs £1 and has £0.10 of sugar as the main ingredient.

And yes I do notice this. It motivates me to live smart and make my own food more often

Good point - I am doing this more and more too. Home-cooked rice for example is just infinitely tastier, and you can control the amount, and add flavours, and that it costs 10x less is just a nice bonus. I find things like curries more difficult to get right, and messy if there are a lot of ingredients, so still think there is a place for convenience foods.

But not to the extent present in supermarkets today - it seems like only 10-20% is fresh "real" food and the rest is highly-marketed high-margin "convenience" food that both costs more and is worse for you, but simply capitalises on our tendency toward laziness.

One indication of this is how much the supermarket's own-brand version costs - it's normally about half the price for can of beans or cola, for example. I normally just go for "essential" line products like this and there really isn't much difference. And it just feels good to no longer be bankrolling inane ads and social propaganda that mindlessly directs individuals to buy a high-margin brand for no good reason.

Over time one begins to master the kitchen. Most things are simple once you know how to produce a given result, though sometimes the nutrition and flavor is not necessarily worth the time and effort. Curry would be worth it I think.
