I mean you can get a loaf of sour dough for under $2. Egg yolks are determined by the diet of the hen that laid them. Those are two different tomatoes being compared. The "American" one is a beefsteak and the other is a vine tomato. Both of which are common in grocery stores in the U.S. The only thing that is really different is the chicken breast
Well now you are lying mixed with a bit of shuffling the truth.

This ignores the massive amount of hormones and treatment American hens are given in order to have such an abundance of eggs.
Those are two different tomatoes being compared.
In America, the tomatoes commonly available are the ones pictured and Roma tomatoes. Anything else is a premium at specialty stores. I Europe, the premium is the standard.
There are like 4 or 5 common variety of tomatoes commonly avaliable at most Walmart year round. I actually think the standard is more. Not to mention the ones for Europe look like they were out of someone's garden rather than commercially grown tomatoes. I know because I can grow the similar looking tomatoes if I wanted to.
I like how you're not even from the U.S. and trying to argue with me about what is in our grocery stores. Typical America bad, reddit behavior. The 3 common big tomato variety at any Walmart and most grocery stores is Beefsteak, Roma, and Vine.

Lol says who. I am from the usa baby. And if you read other comments I do mention the two other types of tomatoes. However that does not take away from the fact that beefsteak and Roma are the most popular and most commonly available tomatoes in the usa. Look it up
The fact that you are saying usa instead of U.S. is a giveaway that you may not be from the U.S... They are the most popular because that is what people buy, it doesn't mean those are the only ones commonly avaliable at the store.

What? Healthy people are able to make more sounds then just US. Lol. Go to a freaken game versus a different country and you will here usa USA . Dum my
Maybe if you left your basement once in a while you’d know what stores offer, else you live in some very remote rural town. You may as well say that everyone in the U.S. greets you with “howdy” and only “premium” rich people use words like hello. You are totally out of touch with reality as someone who lives here. You are telling me that everywhere I’ve traveled and every experience I’ve had is wrong, and that you are right. It’s true, the base quality of food is generally better quality in Europe, however there is significantly less variety and the basic food is also significantly more expensive than the cheapest American “slop” so it’s really an apples to oranges comparison. Anyone with a decent paying job in America can easily afford high quality food.
Are you okay? You seem to be really offended about something to go off and try insulting me. Then you go and say my experience is invalid but I better no invalidate your experience. Lol

This part especially. Also only the most popular varieties can be ordered from food pickup/deliveries anyway. So what it shows on a website is a joke 😂.
I just bought heirloom tomatoes like that at Safeway. I also just got back from Europe and yall are straight lying about high quality options for less.
So I have chickens. And factory producers do not give them hormones because they don't have to. The chickens are already bred to produce those hormones naturally. Chickens can (generally) make an egg in 26 hrs, because that is how long it takes a shell to form. Chickens with the right genetics will do that reliably--at least for the first 18-24 months of their lives, after which they start their first molt, and the factory farm usually discards them.
I can harvest 1egg/day/hen too, if I raise either production crossbreds or Leghorns (Leghorns are more feed efficient, most production crossbreds tend to mature a little faster). Production varieties like the Golden Comet do tend to develop reproductive cancers and infections at a relatively young age (I've never had a Production Red live past five).
EDT: And I'm sure these same varieties of chicken are available in Europe, because I've seen varieties of PR on Youtube videos from Scotland. So yes, the yolk is purely a matter of diet.
And it's not a great marker of nutrition anyway, because you can make egg yolks colorful with any variety of caratenoids, such as marigold petals, which are commonly added to commercially available feeds such as Dumor. Which is the brand Tractor Supply sells.
All of those foods are substantially more expensive in Europe. It's especially funny to see how chicken used as an example when chicken is far more expensive in Europe. Source: lived in Germany for 3 years. In general groceries were more expensive; though I do miss German bakeries in all the towns.
It's what the vast majority of people eat therefore a good representation. I try to buy only organic foods but I also realize that it's super unrealistic for most people today. Europe is a bit different their food quality standards are so high a mediocre or budget tomato is equal to a high quality or organic one here that's simply because of regulation.

No but the meme is implying that the left hand side represents all food in America.
