Why would they compare the most expensive items in the produce section, berries, essentially seasonal delicacies, to the cheapest possible processed food? Because where vegetables are available, they're cheaper than processed foods pound per pound. Of course the shit for brains compare calorie/dollar like the cheesey beef slurry diet doesn't make you obese.
If you don't live in a food desert in scary poor neighborhoods or Alaska, please shut the fuck up, you've never bought vegetables in your life if you think snack foods are cheaper. I know for a fact at least that my coworkers, friends, and family are making up excuses, blaming """poverty""" on their deadly habits, because I shop at the same fucking grocery store as them.
For a dollar each, I bought a pound each of green beans, carrots, jalapenos, rice, snap peas, dried beans, wheat berries, oatmeal, and frozen veg. Also for a dollar or less, I bought a bag of onions, lettuce, cabbage, canned tomatoes, garlic, canned vegetables, pasta, and whole grain bread. In the winter I buy PROCESSED frozen veg, canned veg, and bags of fresh beets, parsnips, and other root veg, plus all the veg available year-round. I know I don't need to go into such detail for shitlords, but apparently the produce aisle is as exclusive as a hottie-only club, people aren't allowed in without their thin privilege. Yeah, high-quality cheese and beef is fucking expensive. You don't need more of that shit. You need more veg, which, yes, I can tell just by looking at you.
It's so fucking easy to spend $20/person/week on groceries in the Midwest, despite all the trailer trash fats, and I almost always make one-pot meals in under 20 minutes. WOAH TEN MORE MINUTES THAN MAC N' CHEESE. The only reason this even bothers me is that my meals, which I eat in quietly alone, trigger my people, like the underhanded compliments on being fitter and hotter than them despite not trying like they do. So they give me unsolicited defensive bullshit all the time. I want to start sharing dieting advice on my social media because I really want to believe this is just a matter of ignorance.

I always love when the fats talk about they don't have time for exercise, or I am lucky for having the time etc.
I fucking make the time. My health and fitness is a priority in my life. A priority above watching the voice, the bachelor, my 400 pound life, the biggest loser, etc ad naseaum. They don't have time to work out but they watch TV for hours on end and know the plotlines of every show.
My fat step mother literally heads for the bedroom TV every night right after her and my dad have dinner. "My shows are one" EVERY FUCKING NIGHT. There is not one night where her shows are not on non-stop from 7-11pm. She keeps the TV on all day as well. I think it is pretty typical in fat households.

After my divorce, I spent some time just traveling and living in a camper with solar panels. Stayed in the desert and parks. NO TV. If it were not for sports I would go back to that, but most of the time it is off.
IF you don't mind me asking, what is your situation that you are not exposed to TV watchers?
