all of their money goes to food. they have no hobbies, they don't go on vacations, and they especially don't save any money. if they were capale of saving money, they would be capable of losing weight

this is so true and something I've come to learn about hammate. She seriously has no ability to save money. If she has money she spends it on whatever she wants. We are talking about a ham that legit brings in about $3000/month from tax free income, health insurance is govt subsidized, I pay over half the rent (includes utilities) and still find our internet getting turned off because she didn't have the money to pay the bill.
Out buying new, expensive lingerie and very expensive makeup though. Hammate lives up to the Obeast stereotype.

Processed food seriously is so expensive. After having my first baby, my favourite gift was a basket of crackers, chips, a bottle of wine etc... It wasn't healthy but my baby nursed nonstop and I was in a lot of pain, so it was nice to have easy things to eat while my husband was at work.
So when my friend had a baby I wanted to do the same thing for her. I don't eat food like that generally, I don't even buy loaves of bread or things like tortillas or pitas because I make them myself. I was amazed at how expensive stuff was. I could have given my friend homemade meals for a week for the cost of these snack foods.
My husband makes good money, but we would definitely have to go seriously into debt to get fat.

I went grocery shopping the other day and spent $132 on food for roughly 7 people for 5 days. This didn't include cereal because we get that at Costco and only the kids eat it. It also doesn't include the kids' lunches as they either buy at school or are in daycare. This does include snacks, fruits and veggies, meat for 4 meals, two toys and some laundry stuff.
We're all pretty thin but no one is going hungry. We just don't eat all the damn time!

i've shitlorded hammate with this logic. She works hard for her money. She's always broke though. Why is she always broke? She spends so much money on food. Any time she says something about needing a new whatever but being short the money I say "well, when you eat less you save money, especially if you're not buying sugary drinks and chocolate all the time. Bonus is you lose weight like you say you want to. It's a win/win situation if you just practice some self control about fucking food. Eat when you're hungry, not when you want. You don't even know what being hungry really is yet".
In the last 2 months she has lost 15 pounds. 15 more to go to be human again!

$20 is one for two at a joint chain. The same is 1 week of groceries. I've tried to get fat just to see, and I can't. I don't get it.

Your priorities are way different. They would give up their car insurance (legally or otherwise) before their snackcakes.

I'm so poor I can't afford to not eat healthy. Pizza or burgers is a very rare treat to share with my friends. I certainly wouldn't want to eat it every day.
