naive: "today I will read about chips and dip...a yakub psyop to manufacture desires in a libidinal economy????"
its amazing how a list of "American culture" is just disgusting garbage that corporations brainwashed them into enjoying. Like peanut butter which is of course a chalky tasteless food without all those unhealthy fats and salt/sugar

We also might shudder at the bologna sandwiches we were forced to eat, with their cold, slippery, overly thick slices. We protest — even riot — over the indignity of consuming bologna. "It’s been inserted into the national psyche of despicable foods, laughable foods," says Amy Bentley, professor of food studies at New York University. "‘That’s baloney, that’s crazy.’ That’s how we think of it. It’s been embedded in our brains that way."
"its crazy to be an authentic human with a soul who doesn't believe whatever Oscar Mayer's corporate advertisements say! You must be brainwashed by Russian propaganda to think Lunchables being served in schools is disgusting abomination. Actually, kids learn better if they don't have a cafeteria at their school serving actual food. We need to privatize and defund schools even more so they can't afford to pay for a single cafeteria worker" - finance imperialist PMC demons
Bologna was one of the more accessible meats of the early 20th century. It kept well and, most importantly during the Great Depression and the war-rationing era, it was cheap. Made out of discarded or fatty parts of meat, even organ meat in some places, bologna was more affordable than ham or salami. And other meats like turkey and roast beef were not easily produced and therefore less available to consumers, says Jason Falter, co-owner of Falters Meats in Columbus, Ohio.
the ideal, highly processed wage slave food, which they later exported to kids in their "future wage slave traning" schools
In the mid-20th century, the rise of the packaged food industry transformed bologna sandwiches into a shared cultural experience. Bologna became available on a mass scale as meatpackers began selling packaged and pre-sliced deli meats in supermarkets, an invention that the New York Times extolled as a time saver for homemakers. "It’s a truly industrial product," says Bentley, explaining that packaged foods like bologna took on a cultural cachet as consumers saw those goods as cleaner than meat at the butcher shop.
"consumers saw those goods as cleaner " the soy neoliberals who wrote this were unable to talk about the million dollar advertising agency that was doing propaganda techniques to psyop people to have this belief.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chips_and_dip
The popularity of chips and dip significantly increased in the United States during the 1950s, beginning circa 1954, due to changes in styles of entertaining in the suburbs and also due to a Lipton advertising campaign based upon using Lipton's instant dehydrated onion soup mix to prepare dip.

Chips and salsa, typically served using tortilla or corn chips, is a common type of chips and dip dish that gained significant popularity in the United States in the late 1980s.

Is unsweetened peanut butter good or is it unhealthy garbage?
It's like one of the cheapest sources of protein for me, so I'm not too bothered if it's not. It's also one of the few legumes western diets will have regularly too.
I fucking love unsweetened peanut butter. I eat it on celery with sea salt and it's amazing. I can't stand the sugar infused ones.
It's very calorie dense though
It's excellent as a source of energy with lots of protein and fat
I am blown away at the things that the USAians put sugar into.
They'll oversweeten everything that shouldn't be sweetened and then not sweeten things that should be sweetened. Sugar (or something like sweet rice wine) is a useful spice when used correctly and sparingly and things like certain fruits mix very well into savory dishes, but it's like people will chug a bottle of literal syrup and then eschew naturally sweet ingredients in food for "health reasons," or chow down on multiple snack cakes that are 90% fat by mass in between meals and then avoid using cooking oil because "that's unhealthy."
When these things are used in the correct place you get an overall diet that's both delicious and healthy, but instead the norm is just that any given thing must be the opposite extreme of what it should be.
I'm a USA and I had no idea people sweetened peanut butter. I buy the hippie shit that's just peanuts.
unfortunately the hippie shit costs more. Likely the assembly lines are easier if they don't have to worry about it separating. But since we live in hell world it is entirely possible that hydrogenated fat and/or sugar are less expensive per gram than roasted peanuts
Too right. I love crunchy peanut butter and Marmite on toast. Mind blowing
I love some unsweetened peanutbutter. Plenty of good fat and protein.
Good for maintaining your weight if you have trouble affording food
genuine fresh nut butter without any additions has oils and proteins in the nuts which makes it satisfying to eat
Too expensive to eat in the same quantities but it's so good. It's got its own natural creaminess and sweetness, and is a better/simpler cooking ingredient imo by virtue of being easier to gauge how it'll turn out (like satay, or baked sweets)
