that persons dumb but yeah, a lot of healthy food over here is way more expensive that the gross prepared stuff. for me, fruit is a rare treat. it seems like steven fends for himself pretty often, which is gonna leave him with a lot of 'instant' foods that taste good, but arent very good for you. it would be great to show steven making healthier choices, to help show younger veiwers how to do the same. but while steven is a everyman... or boy, i guess, he probably will stick with american gunk
Huh, thanks for your input! So apparently some portion of Americans are so deep in the fast food trap that over the years it’s genuinely become the “new normal” while unprocessed foods are meant for the privileged folk. And it gets to the point where people expect even their cartoon characters to snack on donuts by default, because apples or carrots would seem too implausible?
I don’t pretend to know how this kind of complex issue is solved but I do think it needs solving. I hope your politicians will take an interest in it sometime
