Yes always cheaper per head to cook for a few people than for just self … on every level... ingredients, power source, effort... which is why even when on our own we cook for at least a couple of meals in one go and save for next meal …
The Mediterranean diet is pretty healthy … The other day our Townhall published a list of congratulations to all the people over 100 years old in this part of the Málaga province and there was reams and reams of people. Many in very local villages to where I live and a handful in this same village …
I popped open one of the tomato sauce preserves I've been making with veg from my garden. Had it with brown spaghetti .. was delish Would have been even nicer with some of that mixed salad though
In my opinion pesticides are a problem but totally with you on the "home cooked meals" front …
If you buy all your fresh produce from farmers markets or grown your own there' not much other choice than to "cook your own meals" Although I'm discovering that some veg I wouldn't have dreamed of eating raw in the past is delicious raw in mixed salads like spiralised or grated courgette and baby spinach leaves …
Once you get used to preparing your own meals from scratch, processed foods/meals will never feel like "food" again. Too sweet, too salty, too overcooked, too mushy, too additives tasting, leaves an after taste in the mouth type of sensation …

I also have friends with avocado farms and olive groves and other produce who don't use pesticides ...
Small communities 400m above sea level in the mountains … way easier to stay away from supermarkets …
I'm not sure what you mean but I won't buy fruit and veg from supermarkets and will either grown my own or go to local famers markets … because I do like to keep away from pesticides …
A healthy lifestyle is not about protein shakes and drinking a few teas in my opinion...
It's about having a balanced diet preferably of non processed foods, preferably a good amount of fresh produce grown without pesticides and also regular exercise. And for emotional balance and well being spending some self reflection time every day may be in meditation or nature …
It's all fuelled by the vocabulary used by posters accusing one another of trolling etc … none of it is conductive to civilised conversation and all of it feeds hate and disrespect …
It sounds like you think all "lefties" are misguided snowflakes with unresolved issues in their lives... And the "righties" are doing good for society …
Isn't it true that every political party thinks they hold the truth and everyone else is wrong?
How is it humanly good for society where "self appointed truth holders" treat others who think differently with such hatred? Doesn't society comprise those who agree and those who disagree with their views?
The reason why it would be interesting to stay away from political affiliation is because in politics everybody's perception and truth is different depending which party they've been brainwashed by …
