I often find myself wishing that nutritious food was an order of magnitude cheaper; that, and housing (although I’m not paying rent in my current situation). With Huel drinks and Vite Ramen, I spend roughly ~$300 per month if I eat only that, which is a substantial amount of money, and in Central California, housing often costs ~$800 per month.
At my sallary, that’s a large portion of what I make each month going towards keeping me fed and sheltered. But with a 1 OOM improvement, that drops to $100 between the two, which would free up a lot of money for other pursuits.
I’m not really sure if food shakes are the cheapest nutrition possible. They are optimized for time and convenience. Yeah they are probably cheaper than eating out, but I’m not sure how low you can get with cooking yourself from basic products, theoretically scaling up for a larger group of people.
I guess thinks like armies and monasteries might have it figured out. Maybe interesting to check what’s the average price of feeding a soldier / monk?
