>Do people really think this?
which, that fast food isn't cheaper, and that freash food is very expensive some places or the opposite. what side are you on?

>>11030732
A combo meal at McDonalds is $8-$11 dollars. you can buy chicken breasts and sides and cook it yourself for days.

>>11030742
>actually getting combo meals
>not exclusively getting mcchickens and mcdoubles

>>11030714
What the fuck? I bought a bag of grapes for 3.36 and two bunches of bananas for 2.30 total

She bought fruit out of season and not on sale.

ALSO, I feel the need to mention she paid for fucking water.

>>11030714

2 lbs grapes: $3.98
Pineapple: $2.00
Raspberries: $1.99
Soft Drink: $14.99? (Only way I can get to $32.00)
Nuts: $2.00

I know my math is off, but OP is full of shit.

>>11030742
it depends on where you live, for 11 dollars i could get just about 2.5 lbs of chicken breasts, and that's it. for the same money I could get 10 Cheeseburgers. which has more calories?

Bag of rice: $1
Some beans: $1
Some chicken: $4
Some oil: $2
Some spinach: $2
Some seasonings: $3
Some water: $0

Grand total: Not $32

>>11030767

2 lbs grapes: $3.98 > $3.00/lb $6
Pineapple: $2.00 > $7
Raspberries: $1.99 >$4.99
Soft Drink: $14.99? (Only way I can get to $32.00) > $2.50
Nuts: $2.00

$20.50 + tax, still less than the $32 by nearly a third, but not absurdly so. depending on taxes and price, $11 is easy to spend

>>11030767
Probably took place in California at a store like Whole Foods, Sprouts, or Safeway; which are all notoriously expensive. Especially if the pineapple was off season.

In that; All this person got was fruit. That isn't healthy, it's sugar. If she went and bought lettuce/spinach/kale/collards, chicken, beans, brown rice, peppers, and tea packets, she would have been much better off.

>>11030767
Your prices are a bit low for what I can get in my area, a container of raspberries that size might be around $4. But even considering that, everything would have to average out to $6, including the soda and excluding the nuts because she mentioned the price of those, to end up being $32. There's no way, unless she went to the most expensive grocery store and bought the most expensive fruits there. Or she's just lying to get some attention.

Some people do think you have to spend a lot of money to eat healthy food though, maybe so they can just avoid the accusation of being ignorant and not knowing what to eat. Cabbage, lentils, eggs, cheese, and whole wheat flour would probably be under $15 and maybe enough to make enough food for a week. And you'd still have $17 leftover to buy a bit of meat, some stock, seasonings, etc. compared to just buying a bunch of fruit.

>>11030800
It's still pretty retarded to buy a bunch of highly perishable food if you're on a budget. There are cheaper fruits anyway that last longer, like apples, but you could also buy frozen fruit that's almost as good from a nutritional standpoint and is cheaper.

>>11030814
i mostly agree, but it really depends on what is available

>>11030814
SHHHHH. you'll make the author of this OP comment feel stupid.

>>11030791
>Some water: $0

>thinking water is free
If you're getting it from a tap, you still have a water bill.

>>11030714
>buying fruit out of season
>being such a idiot that you don't know how to buy fruit

Look at this moron. So used to eating processed garbage that is available 24/7 that it doesn't even know that prices for fruit change depending on the season.

>>11031014
Yes, the three cups of water required to make dinner is 100% for sure going to break the bank.
I've submitted your recommendation for the Harvard School of Economics, because it is apparent to me that your aptitude for performing cost break-downs is truly prodigious.

>>11030714
When people say "healthy", they always mean shit like pre-seasoned pre-fileted meat and veggies, which fucking SUCK if you're destitute and trying to feed yourself
Meat is expensive and green vegetables DONT PROVIDE ANY CALORIES, it's literal bourgeoisie shit when you're poor

99% of the time, when someone wants to "eat healthier", they invariably mean they want to lose weight because they're FAT. You can keep eating your junk food, just eat less of it.
All you have to do is EAT LESS.
EAT LESS FOOD. SPEND LESS MONEY ON FOOD!!
WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SURROUNDED WITH FAT PEOPLE TOO STUPID TO SKIP MEALS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

OH NO NO NO NO NO NO

>>11030814
I've often found frozen fruit almost the same in price to fresh.

>>11031117
If you think calories are all that your body needs you're in for a surprise. Vegetables and fruits should be half of your plate for a reason, and it's not their caloric content. Some, like squash, carrots, celery- or bananas, apples, and oranges tend to be quite affordable.

>>11030714

Unless she lives in Alaska or Detroit in a literal food desert there's no fucking way that costs that much.

>>11030714
>Look at all these expensive fresh fruits I bought instead of buying staple foods, america is so fucked up
Why would you ever buy a whole fucking pineapple?
Why would you ever buy grapes and raspberries and pineapple INSTEAD of buying staple foods?
Let me go to walmart.com and on a budget of $32 get some food

Anon, I'm concerned.

>>11031757
That's how my budget works, anon. If I can't afford veggies, I don't get them. I get what I need to survive.
$50 - better versions of the stuff I posted, probably chicken, plus some canned/frozen veggies
$30 - what I posted
$10 - just beans and rice
$0 - steal the food grocery stores throw out or panhandle for dosh near fast food places because people will more than likely give me money for food

>>11031714
grapes, pineapple, raspberries all cost more than that lol

>>11030714
What a retard.

I should start posting my receipts from Cash Saver.
I eat s shitton of veggies and fruit daily.
For reasonable fucking prices.

Why buy 5 lbs of grapes?

The nuts are 2/$1. Thats not 1 per nut thats 2 bags for $1.

>buying berries and rich man fruits
I wonder how many potatoes that could be bought for those 32 dollarydos

>>11032086
I nut for less than a dollar.

>>11030742
>chicken breast instead of the cheaper tastier juicier thighs

>>11032200
Everyone always says thighs are cheaper but everywhere I go they're like 20% more expensive

>>11031854
those are all juice oranges, not eating oranges.

No. And I think you know it's not.

People who live in poverty don't eat like this. They eat 20 cent packs of ramen noodles, and use one to feed three people. That's all they get in one day. THAT is poverty.

The poor tend to make worse choices because, typically in America, they're not educated to make smart decisions with their money. But the ones that are get the staples: Rice, potatoes, carrots, onions, apples, and whatever's on sale that's dirt cheap.

SHOULD people be so poor that they can't feed themselves properly? No. Of course not. But in tough times you do what you gotta do. You don't buy pineapples n shit.

>>11030714
>grapes, pineapple, bagged nuts, berries, singular bottled waters
holy shit, why?

>>11030767
You're pricing the pineapple, raspberries, and nuts way too low. The nigger didn't go to a fucking farmer's market you ding dong.

>>11031117
>greens are bourgeoisie shit
Avoiding rickets and scurvy etc is for working class folks, too

Frozen greens are not expensive

>>11032397
But that's exactly what she's saying. 20 cent ramen noodles are not healthy, but they're cheap, and they're what people will go for in desperate times.

Her picture is a bad example though, because nobody buys two bags of grapes and a pineapple for dinner.

>>11031014
i fucking hate this dumbass argument. So you fuckface dont pay for water in your home? Then how the fuck do you wash yourself?

fuck you anon

>>11030742
This. I can get a whole chicken for less than US$6, vegs $5 worth and rice for $1 per kilo and eat them for a week. That's equivalent to the price of 4 of McDonalds cheapest hamburger.

Guess it depends on where you live.

>>11032397
people that do this are poor because they are completely stupid. just be happy they are feeding themselves anything.

>>11030714
ah yes an entire pineapple, bag of grapes and nuts, now that's a real meal

>>11030714
Nigga to lose weight you've got to eat less, not more, that's the whole point

>>11032531
is that even legal? collecting rainwater isn't

>>11032464
Buy ramen and add some greens to each serving like broc, spinach, cabbage etc whatever is cheapest and it's probably healthier than what 70% of the rest of the population eats on any given day

>>11032592
Fucking hell what dystopian liberal shitscape do you hail from that having a well is questionably legal?

>>11032596

>>11030714
Where I live: (prices in USD)

2 bags of white grapes $7
1 pk raspberries $4.4

>>11032596
i honestly need to know the answer to this.

>>11032604
In Colorado you can't collect rainwater, it's like the FO3 of real life

>>11032602
yeah this sounds a lot more reasonable and closer to what it is in my city. $16.20

It's literally putting a big bucket in your backyard, is there any historical reason why it's not allowed?

>>11031117
>All you have to do is EAT LESS.
Technically true, yet statistically retarded. The way you eat less is by eating in a way that makes you feel full with fewer calories, which means padding your meals out with vegetables and fibre, eliminating sugary drinks and things that don't fill you up, eating to a proper schedule so you don't binge or snack. and above all, starting to do so when you're overweight and not when you're an obese hamplanet.

Calories in calories out implies that it's a good idea to lose weight by eating nothing but carefully-weighed portions of fried chicken, which is blatantly wrong and goes against all common sense and good advice.

>>11032629
Because that water flows somewhere it's needed, but when it becomes a legal issue we're talking about some real fucking big buckets

i googled it and apparently some people build huge reservoirs, thus keeping all those water for their private gain rather than letting them go into the water cycle.

>>11030714
$32 (if I have change for tax) is 32 mcchickens. That's mcchickens a day for 5 days. I can't eat 6 in a day, so 5 a day would last 6.5 days. On the last day I can go hungry. Or if I eat 4 a day, I can have 4 a day for a week with 1 leftover. That one leftover, each week, for an entire year, would let me save $32 one week by eating 7 each day for a week.

Every single food here is bordering on luxury food. Go eat some apples or pears instead of getting bags of overpriced grapes.

Every time that kind of thread/picture shows up, I'm always baffled at the lack of pasta. Do americans simply not sell them?
In France the "poor student" food isn't ramen or mac and cheese, it's the dried pack of 500 grams of pasta, in boiling water, with a bit of butter.
it's cheap and caloric, while not necessarily healthy, but still healthier than junk food

>>11034057

butter sketti and the big jug of meaty prego is a humble staple too

but the student ramen thing is them owning nothing to cook with but the microwavable plastic tub

>>11034057
There is plenty of pasta in the U.S.

Grapes can last a fair while, a few days if everyone is eating them

>>11032637
Except you don't have to be full all the time, you pussy.

you people dont understand poor people work 16 hour days and come home to a house with no electricity or running water they are forced to eat fastfood all the time.

this nigga shopping at the wrong damn store. that whole shit would be $5 at Aldi and $10 at wegmans if you wanna be a high roller

>>11032397
Also, the willingness to cook is an issue as well. Most poor people are working poor. So, you come home from working 1-2 jobs and then have to cook. Most will opt for the easy food.

>>11034139
How can you have so many jobs and be so poor

I lived off Ramen Noodle Omelettes with cheese and mushrooms in Uni. I'd make a jumbo one with two packets of noodles, 6 eggs, 200g of cheese and 200g pack of mushrooms, fried in 100g of butter (it absorbed all of it). I was a vegetarian at the time and totally craving animal broteins and fats.

I live in Florida so pineapple's always cheap. Grapes are about $5 a bag. I was at the store today at raspberries were 2/$5 for 11oz cartons today.

>>11032610
I gave OP a break and don't use discounted prices. If I wait for supermarket discounts (they roll what products are on sale every couple of weeks) or go to the fresh market after 3pm, I could slash around $4 from that.

>>11031117
calories are literally a meme
the human body is a massively complicated mess of many systems, each of which work differently and respond differently to every type of substance
and every human body reacts slightly differently to every single one of those factors
and you can SOMEHOW come up with a magic number that abstracts "how fat this will make you" no matter what the food item is made of?
just think about it for half a minute, that's fucking stupid.

>>11030742
yeah but for 8-11$ you could also get 8-11 sausage biscuits and live for like a week.

>>11030800
>2 lbs grapes: $3.98
There's at least or more than 2 lb in each bag. I buy grapes every week: one of the fuller standard grapes bags. Grapes were $1.99/lb this week so the single bag of grapes cost me $5.75ish. Nearly 3lb of grapes fits in a grapes bag while the zip will still close. The real question is why this bitch needs 5-6 lbs of grapes.

>>11034092
yes but in the 1st world we do not need to work a month to earn that $25.

>>11035318
Why do you copypasta this?

>>11032455

>>11032567
Yeah and I can subsist off of grass. Doesnt mean I want to. People buy fast food because it tastes good for the price. Nobody wants to survive off of beans and rice.

>>11035950
I buy fast food occasionally too, but if that's your main diet and your reason is because they're cheap, but then you get fat, sick, miserable and then complain about that, then you need to reflect on your life choices. Either make that choice and be happy with it, or change your life.

What the fuck are these retards doing?

Oh wait, prepackaged everything in small quantities. If they shopped by weight instead of units then they wouldn't be fucking unable to buy decent food. They do this to themselves. They are poor for a fucking reason.

>>11035479
nuts can be expensive depending on what kind and how many you get, hard to know really without more information

>>11036477

>>11030714
>gets a bunch of fruit which has sugar
>acts like that was the healthy option
I can't believe how stupid so many of these fat people are.

How is a bunch of fruit healthy eating?

Also why the soft drink.

It's cheaper to buy bulk/dried types than it is almost any other food type, such as beans and rice. For fat some type of oil can be added, for (complete) protein an egg, for vitamins some sort of cheap veggie. I lived off of food combinations like this for years when I was poor. It sucks to eat day in and day out, but is far better for you than fast food.

>That picture
As I've gotten older and less idealistic, I've started to accept that some people are just plain inferior (i.e stupid) to others. People like in pic related just aren't even worth talking to about basic nutriton.

>>11036359

>>11037022

>>11037022

I'm >>11032602 btw and based that on Colesworth

>>11036982
Or like at least 20 mcdoubles.

Still, OP's fat cunt bought sugary fruit probably out of season. Yes people like this exist. A lot of people are dummies. If i really had to, I can probably survive on that much money for at least a couple of weeks no problem. Rice, beans, lentils, eggs, etc.

>>11030778
chicken is expensive in most places
say pork or ground beef and we would be close, despite those food items being of much higher quality and simply being more healthy than a mcdicks burger
even so, almost fucking nobody, especially fatties, only eat one or two cheeseburgers as a meal; so that argument is pretty retarded

You want to eat cheap and not die? Rice, beans, veggies (grow some of your own too), potatoes, maybe even some dairy
Bam, you get hearthy meals with very little waste and you can buy on bulk for extreme cheapness. Buy some weekend meat for variety and you're set. With spices, jams and honey you can add all the variety you need for extremely cheap. If you want to lose weight, eat less. If you want to gain, eat more and buy cheap protein (powder, egg, meats, more beans).
Also if you have a want for something other than this, buy in bulk or on season.

You can literally live off fast food and be fine if you count calories.

No, sweet summer child. You also need a balance of actually nutritious foods to stay healthy.

Those aren't the only things they want. They also want it not to taste like vomit.

QLD, local fruit shop in season.
neighbours and family grow a lot of their own fruit and vege too, so I usually get free pumpkins, watermelons and pineapple every now and then.

>>11037311

i want to fuck your mother without getting warts. you dont always get what you want

>>11037291
If you dont have money you have to make due. And this is the complaint presented, that you cannot eat and live relatively healthy on a low budget. Also, i don't see how you need to be mentally ill to eat plainly, you can still enjoy the taste of a simple meal.
>>11037311
Nothing I've stated tastes like vomit, all can be prepared tasty and healthy on a low budget

>>11030714
>berries, nuts and a pinneaple
What will she even do with this? A victorian orgy?

>Do people really think this?
Apparently low IQ niggers do.

>>11037402
How about ingest them for sustenance? The answer is, "of course".

>>11037264
Exclude the animal products and I agree. A healthy plant-based diet is the most affordable.

>>11037418
>ingest them for sustenance
Pinneaple, grapes and berries are just heavy fructose and water, nuts are just fat. Nothing of these are things you can eat and feel satisfied

>>11037434
The girl messed up. She should've purchased sweet taters, legumes, nuts, etc. Bodybuilder here. Pump it up!

You can't buy 32 mcchickens with $32, guy.

>>11030800
Where the fuck do you live? I've never paid more than like $3-4 for a pineapple or a pint of raspberries, and they're even cheaper when in season (read: right now).

>>11030767
Grapes here are 8.99 a pound. So 2 pounds is 18 right there. Pineapple is 4 here, so 22, rasp are 4 out of season, 26, plus soft drink, 28, plus nuts, 30, plus tax 32.

>>11038867
>grapes are 8.99 a pound
Fuck off you Alaskan retarded grizzly fucking nigger.

>>11038867
So basically, she spent half her money on fucking grapes. She could have bought a shitload of much more filling and nutritious food for that much.

>>11038980
As soon as I opened the picture, those were my exact thoughts. Grapes are shit expensive here. Also it looks like those are about 4 pounds of grapes. Each bag is about 2-3 pounds.

it's not a joke. They have responded multiple times to it.

>it’s absolutely insane, the reaction to that post. First of all, it was one of those completely unplanned posts. I went shopping because i wanted some damn fruit… on a whim. Never have i ever said that i had trouble paying for the food. Never have i ever said the fruit was intended to be a balanced meal. Like… i wanted some fruit so i went and got some damn fruit! and it was really late at night, i remember that. anyway… i took a picture, added a line about people being judged for what they eat and “eating healthy” being framed as something simple and cheap that people are just actively working against.

a lot of people agreed… and that triggered all the fatphobes.

like… some people on this site really, really, really hate fat people.

i’ve gotten several messages of support, too. i don’t want to ignore those. people are actually in my inbox saying they don’t understand why some people are so mad about the post. I appreciate those people. i do.

but the fatphobia bruh. holy shit…

and this idea that if a person is fat, they must also be uneducated?

WHAT KIND OF “3 + 3 = ALL LIVES MATTER” LOGIC???

>>11039128
>blocked notifications for the fruit post because i really didn’t post it with intentions to make a huge deal out of it… i was just shocked by the price of the fruit. i’m actually trying to watch what i put in my body a little more and it blows my mind how much more you can end up paying for simple things.

but i’m having my intelligence questioned by morons who think they’re better than someone because they’re thinner? and then having the audacity to say “no excuses” in regards to what people eat or their body size? really?

you want to talk about what you call mere “excuses”?

show me how much you make a year, your job, all that you own that YOU payed for (not your parents, other family, or significant other) including but not limited to: house, furniture, car….

display your library, your degree, your savings/investments/retirement funds. If you have kids, let me know how much you have in their college funds and what private K-12 schools you already have them placed in or have them on track to enter. What prestigious preschool are they in? how much debt do you have? When’s the last time you traveled out of the country? When’s the last time you got a promotion? when’s the last time you were the best at something… or at least better than ‘adequate’? How is that dream of yours coming along? You written a novel yet? a movie? did you ever get a role anyone cared to watch? did your dance video get more than 10,000 views that you didn’t pay for? 1,000? 100? How’s your family doing? are they all well taken care of? everybody straight on their homes/cars/jobs? you got a degree in something in demand? you made any progress on being a winner at anything in your life other than the gym?

Let’s see how much you’re really about that “no excuses” life.

or is that just something you say to shame people who aren’t as (insert some superficial shit here) as you because that’s really all you have going for yourself?

Gonna respond to this bait. Have a study of 1000 subjects. Measure biometrics. Prescribe fixed calorie diets. Monitor weight. Extrapolate caloric needs based on height, lean body mass, and level of activity.

>>11041121
Was there ever any actual alternative?

>Only $3
Nah senpai, oregano is like $7 alone where you finding these seasonings for $3?

>>11035318
>and you can SOMEHOW come up with

It's pretty simple, really. A scientist by the name of Dr. Atwater did an empirical study with a bunch of people and measured how much energy they got from food. It's based on a real-world measurement of real people. That's where those numbers you see for food calories come from--4 cals/gram for protein and carbs, 7 for alcohol, and 9 for fat come from. They already take into account the inefficiencies of human digestion.

>>11042509
I'm not that anon, but you can easily find inexpensive seasoning blends at any supermarket.

>>11042509
huh? even like a knorr soup mix is like $1
why would a premade seasoning kit be much more than that

>>11042509
Anon here, that was the estimated cost for one meal. Are you really going through entire bottles of seasonings to make one serving of something?
ATTENTION:
>>11030791
BRAINLETS NEED NOT REPLY TO THIS POST

>>11032397
If that's what they're eating they won't be fat. Problem solved.

>>11042509
I buy spices in the bulk section. I rarely pay more than $0.50 per seasoning for any one meal.

>>11042517
But our body is more complex than boiling a cup of water. The experiment is nice but it's not practical to use that as the main metric to judge what makes people fat

Could she not just have some bananas

>>11043580
>>But our body is more complex than boiling a cup of water
Of course. That's the whole point of my post: the measurement isn't made with a calorimeter, it is made by observing how human digestion actually works.

>>11043632
Except the calorie is measured on its ability to boil water

Checked out one of the grocery stores online out of curiosity:

2lbs Grapes: $1.98 ($0.99/lb on sale)
Pineapple: $2.99
Raspberries: $2.50
20oz Soda: $1.99
Nuts: $1 for 2

Total: $10.46

My grocery bill last week was around $45. I got

>18 eggs
>loaf of bread
>16 pack of yogurt
>peanut butter
>crackers
>3 big chicken breasts
>lb of ground turkey
>lb of ground beef
>big bag of broccoli
>bunch of red potatoes
>lb of jasmine rice

What is this moron doing?

>"Eating healthy is expensive"
>Buys raspberries
>Buys a unnecessary ammount of grapes
>Buys pineapple
>Buys two fucking small bags of nuts instead of a larger one
>And a fucking soft drink

How retarded can one be?
Do they really expect to live off just fruit an nuts?
Meat is cheaper than raspberries
A whole chicken could be bought for the price of the 2 bags of grapes
>Meat
>Chicken meat
>Chicken bones
>2 dollar bunch of celery
>3 dollars yield about 5-6 carrots
>1 onion cost < 2 dollars

You got:
-Meat
-Chicken
-Half an onion
-2 Carrots
-At least a gallon of chicken stock

>>11030800
$7 for a pineapple lmao. I've seen them on sale for 99 cents each and they're usually like $2-3 and I live in the bay area where everything's expensive as fuck.

Went to get groceries today
Bill was $200+

>>11044923
stop buying 20 pizzas for your groceries

>niggers not knowing how to shop wisely or look for things in sale

What else is new?

>>11044939
I don't usually buy anything frozen except veggies

>>11041059
You mean $14.58 for 5.74 lbs of grapes, which is a pretty normal price.
The receipt is also $8.40 less than the claimed total price.

Not like it matters that it's cheaper to eat fast food. You can eat fast food three meals a day for a month and still lose weight. You don't have to eat more just because you can get more food with the same amount of money; just eat less fucking food.

>>11044996
>The receipt is also $8.40 less than the claimed total price.
They got a discount from "Vic savings" and google told me it's the loyalty program of a relatively expensive grocery store chain

What the FUCK man?

>>11044939
frozen pizzas are like 2 for $5 in most places
stop shopping at whole foods, boomer

I eat like a king for $30 a week. Fresh fruit and veg, fresh meat (whatever's on manager special). Fresh eggs. If I ate like a poorfag (stooping to eat peasant food like bread, rice, beanz, potatoes, etc) I could feed a family of 4 on 30/week.
And where I live is more expensive than average for america. It's a city where all our shit has to be imported. (not hawaii.)
>>11031720
>Why would you ever buy a whole fucking pineapple?
When they're on sale for 1-2 dollars nigger. Fresh /pina/ is god tier.
