Common sense. Just look at your local grocery store or any restaurant - it’s all entertainment not “survival sustenance”. If you’d spent some time to actually classify this you wouldn’t need any proofs, it’s perfectly visible.
We should have law that any business that wants to make money selling prepared meals must ensure that a person can live sustainably off any individual meal. Food is made as addictive as possible without any concern for whether it is still food. This goes bad places.
It’s not even only about prepared meals. Most food products you find in the super market are entertainment luxury. Popcorn chicken is not substance neither is frozen pizza or import hand grown mangoes from Japan - it’s all entertainment in very literal sense of the word.
There is an ethical scale of how much we ought to sacrifice for this entertainment just like how much water we ought to waste on chat bots and if someone doesn’t see how a hamburger is worse than an llm prompt I think we can safely discard their entire argument. Thats the bare minimum litmus test.
come on man be honest with yourself. 90% of food is entertainment not vital nutrition.
90%???
Please tell me where you pulled this number from.

are you OK? so where should I get my food if I don’t own any way to produce it?
You are out of your god damned mind.
If you can’t see that then you never even found yours to begin with.
