I just got a shit ton of fresh veggies and supplies at the store for $13. It could feed me for at least a week. however I am using most of it to make pickled veggies for gifts. Beets, radishes, dill, cukes, carrots, onions, all the good stuff.

Beets+ vinegar+ peeled hardboiled eggs= pickled eggs! Nice protein rich snack.

Wish I could eat eggs. :( I limit myself to one half of a deviled egg two or three times a year. The damage it does to my tummy is not worth it. Stupid egg yolks.

McDonalds is not cheap. Fat people are lazy and complacent. That's how they get fat. And that's why they stay fat.

I pointed out that there are any number of scientific studies proving it's not about what you eat but how much. That fell on deaf ears of course.

I hate the implication that people are fat because they are poor and can't afford good food so damn much. I grew up dirt ass poor. No running water or working electricity often poor. We didn't get fast food we couldn't afford it. $20-$25 dollar might be what we had to feed everyone for the whole week. Hell the man and I had fast food a few weeks ago and it was $15 for our meals. I don't consider that a cheap meal at all.

I have decided a larger portion of the population has nothing I want to eat confused with nothing to eat.

Long story short---the kind of food doesn't really matter. It's simple CICO. I can personally prove it. I lost pregnancy weight by counting calories and a little more exercise. Know what I ate while counting calories? Beer, coffee, cake, sometimes chips, veggies, sweet tea, and pretty much whatever I wanted and still lost the weight.

It pissed me off when they make the "but I'm poor!" excuse. I grew up poor. I couldn't afford luxuries like McDonald's or soda pop. There is zero fucking reason to buy soda pop and then bitch you don't have enough money to feed yourself. Zero. For that matter, it costs nothing to eat fewer calories. Even if you're in that minority that lives in an absolute food desert, you'd have more money if you ate less crap and healthier for not putting your body through as much abuse.

It's like someone complaining that gasoline is expensive, so instead of buying premium they buy regular but buy 25 gallons of it for their car's 20 gallon tank, and then stand complaining about how little money they have while excess gasoline slops all over their shoes.

I saw that meme yesterday on someone's status and responded with something similar. Also went so far as to point out how raspberries/grapes and pineapple have different seasons, so one is going to be expensive. Also that making good monetary choices, not just health choices are something everyone has to do. That meme is inaccurate at best, another shitty piece of fat logic.

declares it can feed its entire family for $15 to $20 fast food places such as McDonald's.

That's a lot of money. My boyfriend and I pay about forty dollars a week for just us. We splurge here and there, but overall we're happy with rice/chicken/beans, etc. If we had a family, it'd of course go up, but nothing nearing twenty dollars for just one meal! Especially if we were really struggling!

My bf's mom has celiacs and she never eats out because of it though... The whole gluten thing puts a damper on fast good

My Mom has celiac disease (recently diagnosed) and I'm currently waiting my results from my endoscopy to see if I have it. I have cut out pretty much all fast food because my blood testing showed the markers for it. You'd be amazed where gluten hides. It's in everything since it's such a cheap filler/thickener.
