I’m going to rightfully assume you’re asking this out of bad faith.
It’s not my thing, but I can respect the patience and skill it takes to make preserves. Home made jam is often better than store bought, so I expect the same applies to self preserved fruits etc.
Sugar is used as a preservative but until you make your own jam you have no conception of how much sugar is used, jam is just jelly for adults.
Its equal parts weight of the fruit and the sugar, generally.
But it tastes amazing!

wait?! really?!!!
There are low sugar versions and even no sugar! But it’s a lot of sugar if you go with a classic recipe!
that explains why i’m not losing any weight. i knew that peanut butter was high in calories, but didn’t know jelly was just as bad.
I made jam once . Raspberry. After realizing it was like 3 or 4 cups (?) of sugar per 1 cup of mashed berries cooked down. I tried to find alternative ways to doing it. I used 1/3 less sugar and substituted with Splenda.
It was a very tart jam though still edible.
Probably won’t ever make it again. I don’t recommend trying to use less sugar to make it healthier.
I just happened to live somewhere with a bunch of raspberry bushes then.
It’s not cheap to do it either. Cheaper than store bought. Probably . But probably not by much. Sugar, jars, lids, and pectin.
And if the fruit ain’t free, it’s definitely not cheaper than store bought.
In my learned opinion, they are very similar, in multiple aspects, to people who are pro-breathing.
I have no idea what you’re asking. Self-preservation is fundamental to life. Not being “pro-self preservation” would be to be suicidal, at least passively.
There are three types of people:
What do you mean by pro-self preservation?
uhhhh it’s a spectrum,
At its healthiest, self-preservation can mean:
setting boundaries, avoiding unnecessary risk, saving money, protecting mental health, leaving harmful situations, thinking long-term, resisting pressure to self-sacrifice for approval.
But self-preservation can also become limiting if it turns into:
chronic fear, emotional isolation, refusal to trust anyone, avoiding all vulnerability, stepping on others to stay secure, never taking meaningful risks.
Isn’t that just evolutionary developed instinct? I can’t imagine there would be anybody who’s not pro-self preservation on those terms.
If it involves genocide, fuck the genocidal, religioethnonationalists.
what if both of them do genocide?
Self preservation is a natural high priority instinct in all organisms so most people are fairly pro about it and any few that are not will not last long enough to comment here. If you are referring to cryogenics when you say self preservation then I regard that as just a slightly desperate and unscientific example of the instinctual self preservation I mentioned first.
