Eating the proper amount is hard. Eating when you have low time, money, mental energy, or education on cooking is even harder.

This book assumes nothing. Do you know how to turn on your stove? You are properly prepared to use this cookbook.

Just want to share it with more folks!

      Pros: high protein food

      Cons: makes a spoon dirty

      Suggested improvements to recipe: note to thoroughly lick spoon clean, or use a finger to swipe up the peanut butter.

    I really love Mexican food so sometimes my dinner is pulling a tortilla out of the bag and eating it.

    If you pass this recipe on please give me credit.

    In the Great Depression, it’s not like anyone was starving to death. Rather it was like they were eating flour paste and dying of malnutrition.

    That we are in an era that we need the SBC speaks to how bad things are. Here in the states, we don’t have food deserts, we have food swamps, where the only thing one can get is junk food.

        My doom and gloom is catalyzed by a lot of things including, yes, a novelty cookbook that appears to be made in recognition of desperate times. It isn’t the only thing that informs my doom and gloom, and this isn’t to say I don’t have hope. But it is a Goblins at the gates of Gondor kind of situation, in which a lot of things have to go simultaneously right before we’re out of the fine mess we’re in.

            In my case enjoying life is not something that I can simply do. I manage mental illness which features chronic suicidality, but it’s been driven into me very hard that I am at fault for my grief and trauma. But having a sober understanding of why I feel the way I do, and the social forces that drove parents, teachers and authorities to treat me the way I did helps me counter those neural processes.

            This cartoon illustrates the dynamic I’ve encountered, and I hypothesize the mental illness epidemic in the US is intergenerational and compounding.

            That we’re also dealing with a couple of imminent great filters the human species is unprepared to navigate hits hard for me.

        Which is great until you get heavy metal poisoning or pfas or whatever the latest one is. My local DNR recommends eating just ONE meal of freshwater fish a MONTH because of water pollution. We are so fucked.

    I don’t get this one, surely you can just buy pasta sauce instead and it’s exactly the same steps but better 🤔

      This is for people who might not have pasta sauce in their pantry, but most people will have ketchup in the fridge.

    I’ll share my recipe since it isn’t in the book.

    Block of Smoked Tofu

    Preparation: cut open the packaging with a knife, put on a plate, and eat with your hands.

    Smoked tofu tastes good enough to eat it by itself, and it’s a great source of protein and fat.
