I know a lot of folks in this thread are taking the piss but imagine you are a single mother on a limited / min wage income working 2 jobs and a kid or two to feed. You need food that doesn’t spoil and that you are certain your kids will eat (can’t afford to waste it) and that doesn’t require much if any time to prepare (you don’t have time). This is how you get shopping carts like this.

People posting the Russian borscht or whatever don’t get it, there are people out there that simply can’t spend an hour or whatever cooking.

I mean I get it but when I was a kid it was "shut up and eat what's put in front of you"
