Salad has never been boring, people just donāt know how to make them, all it honestly takes is just tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, peppers and green onion with a mix of lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and dried herbs like mint to make a salad youāll enjoy
I am very admittedly a devotee to the work of Steven Gundry, to where I think he could make a great secretary of Health and Human Services at a federal level to address some of these problems besides economics. I follow a lot of his advice admittedly, and from there; I eventually got out of a half obese phase I went through. Coffee also helped me slim in the process.
When it comes to this, we as a society really need to tackle corporate power, our food chain, and possibly look at indigenous wisdom for a truly egalitarian and sustainable future.
I will leave it with the quote from Tom morello of rage against the machine of all people, āEverything we do is ultimately political.ā
What about making your own salad?? Meal prep. I work and study full-time, but I always find a time to prepare food. It is way healthier, not so pricey and you will enjoy it. As long as people rely on these kinds of restaurants, they will have high prices, because if no one is buying them, they would have to do something about it.
Its all about marketing.. just like Starbucks and other specialty restaurants the prices they charge for basic food items is ridiculous… Think about this you can spend $12-17 for one salad during lunch or you can apply some basic economics. Go to your local grocery store get the lettuce(its different variations), or pack of mixed greens, sweet potato, can of chickpeas, a sm pack of pre-cooked chicken strips, a pack of seeds or nuts, cauliflower (if thats your thing), croutons and your desired sauce for about $25( the cost will vary more or less depending on where you live). Do a meal prep and eat salad with those same ingredients for 3 to 4 days during lunch. Spending $25 once a week is more practical verses $12-17 per day… but I understand convenience sells and these salad companies are racking up.
I feel like this was just a Sweetgreen ad. "Falafel, tofu, lentis….have made it possible for a salad to become a complete meal" Lol ok yeah because we didn't have chicken breast with almonds, tomatoes, and a drizzle of olive oil on a bed of romaine before the falafel salad
I make my own giant salads that are just as delicious as anything you can get at a restaurant and it must cost me like $2 or so a serving. Just make your own all you gotta do it chop vegetables
I currently live in New Zealand and Iām thinking $12! Damn thatās cheap! Youād pay $22+ for a salad like that, and they usually lack flavour loll
This is the stupidity of people that I donāt understandā¦ you can go to the grocery store and buy all the ingredients to make these salads at least 4x and it wonāt even cost $12ā¦
Nothing screams US more than this video, it would be great if you made some comparison to the EU or some European countries. I feel like the US has been behind on eating veggies for a long time and that these videos should reflect that it is perhaps more of a US problem. Just my 2 cents as a European/Scandinavian viewer.
$16 in nyc
i did not get full with salad this is the problem

I think this might be the most frustrating, white-washed feature video I've ever watched.
I rather eat my boring cheap salads. Lettuce, onion, tuna and vinegar. When I feel fancy I replace the tuna with some cured cheese, nuts and apple.

"Salad restaurants have been growing like crazy"
Me who lives in the South and only recognized one of the salad chains: Oh really?
I can't remember having an American salad in my life, because I never had one in the first place T_T
What if that place with the prepackaged salads made refrigerated salad vending machines?
