This is going to be very expensive and time consuming for a lot of people.
Same goes with brewing your own beer or making your own wine. It can’t compete with the cost at scale.
Also, not everyone has time for stuff like this. Making your own pickles/ice cream/beef jerky/beer/whatever is a luxury. So is having a vegetable garden or whatever other hipster idea people suggest in this vein. Like, I do a lot of those things, because I have a house (because space is often a requirement) and I work from home so I have time. But most people aren't that fortunate and what free time they have should be spent on doing things they find fun.
Jerky isn't too bad. Mostly you're waiting on it to marinade or waiting on it to dry out. Very minimal actual work.
Space is another thing to consider.
Oh wait that was mentioned already. But yeah in a 1 bedroom apartment, it’s not easy to do all this stuff yourself. I don’t have a spare closet to install my own beer brewery and smoking case and jerky dryer.
Oh, I just make jerky in the stove so there wasn't really any extra space concerns for me. I live in a small space as well.
One thing I've noticed since coming to Lemmy from Reddit. Damn if the most obnoxious, time intensive, expensive solutions aren't the most upvoted like I actually am not living paycheck to paycheck and just trying to get my dopamine hit.
It's a lot. But I found a recipe with electric beaters, sweetened condensed milk, half n half, vanilla. I can manage that plus it's a small enough batch the extra pounds won't be much.
