no, what I'm asking is how a ready to eat food product that is cheaper than the raw materials alternative is considered a luxury in this context

I understand that ready to eat food itself is somewhat of a luxury, but that is not what is being discussed - what is being discussed is the cost of the food.

No no, you see when you pay any amount beyond what is absolutely necessary to survive then you are spoiled by luxury. /S

is fast food a luxury or a necessity?

this is a version of fast food. that's why it's a luxury.

it's also a factor of true cost vs the fact these are sold at a loss and understanding the psychology therein that gets people to buy more than they otherwise would.
