with my autism and society telling me to be skinny, i am not eager to cook dry beans (i splurge on canned) since i have money i have the LUXURY not to do so. BUT, at a certain point, if the scale hit certain numbers that indicated there was a health problem i would be forcing myself to eat boring cheap food

i disagree that the fact that poor people feel like they can only afford to focus on calories means that only focusing on calories is the better choice and i think the only thing that would change my mind on that is if the obesity rates changed. most Americans are overweight or obese. i said that if someone is…
i didn’t mention relying on your family or friends or other members of your community because i’m autistic. i would def ask my friend if they could give me some cans to fill my kid up or if we can come by for dinner so i could afford to give them some produce alongside it.
i think 45 is a bit rediculous for thrifty and would consider thrifty food costs to be between 25 and 30. 50 bucks per person to me is when you’re spoiling the fuck out of yourself, maybe going out to eat sometimes.
. Again, not starving takes priority over minor vitamin deficiencies.
this is what i’m trying to address. it’s a pretty fucked up priority for the vast majority of Americans.
seriously, do the math on 2000 calories on mcdonalds food. 2000 calories from mcdonalds in fries or in big macs is going to be about 7 bucks to…
it depends on the food. chips are more expensive than flour.
having the time and energy and education to do nutrition has no effect on what is healthy for the human body.
Lol
Oh
I would never piss on your leg. That’s a great song and I am widely listened in music and not even a Taylor swift fan.
That judge wasn’t very nice.
sometimes my dad tried to calm me down by offering me stuff or money and that made it worse. what a missed opportunity.
There are different price points you can make a balanced meal at, but at a certain point it’s cheap because of processing and by-products and something more expensive per calorie is a healthier choice even if it means fewer calories
not every person who makes shitty food choices is poor. you honestly this it’s poverty that causes tasty things to taste good? yeah, poor people might be more likely to indulge with treats, which are affordable (and i’m pretty sure that theory is really poorly researched anyway) but poor people don’t own poor food…
the page wouldn’t load and i was like “did i get banned on takeout for suggesting that nutrition goes beyond calories?” i don’t comment here and that seemed weird.
also, i made it clear that i’m talking about when people have a choice. nothing about people being forced into a shitty environment is going to make it true that calories are the only nutrient that matters. malnutrition is just as deadly as starvation. as a long term strategy for survival, you should diversify the…
Uber plus Obamaphone. https://www.lifewireless.com problem solving skills in general. A fifteen mile ride every other month would cost you less than 100 bucks a year if you don’t have public transportation. In my city public transportation is subsidised for poor people.
I was saying Americans are fat, but since we were curious I looked it up
I just don’t think it follows from “all of the affordable choices available are low nutrition and high calorie” that we should prioritize low nutrition high calorie cheap food. To me it implies the opposite, that if the cheapest and most abundant nutrient is the calorie, then instead of hunting for a good deal on a…
