When I was piss broke I got fat as fuck. Cheap food is 99% insanely processed carbs. Fills ya up, but it absolutely destroys your body.
Pet peeve of mine nowadays when I hear someone give a low income person shit for being fat… “Hurr durr looks like they can afford to eat!” Fuck you!
Um… /rant lol.
Insulting gypsy women?
All it ever made me is fatter. Veggies ain’t cheap.
They are absurdly cheap and easily frozen. Probably the cheapest things in every grocery store.
Yes, but depending on what you buy. If you stay regional, seasonal and somewhat on the boring side, veggies are incredibly cheap. Get a sack of potatoes, onions and carrots and you have a lot you can work with for relatively cheap.
Not really. I can walk in 85% of the grocery stores in the US and there is a ton of non regional shit for dirt cheap.
People are just lazy and/or tired and overworked.
Yes, I think regional has a different meaning in our time. I meant from roughly the continent I’m currently at.
But even that isn’t necessarily true. I guess I just want to buy regional because I don’t want my vegetables to have traveled further than me just for nothing.
Time to prep and cook is the most expensive part
Cook as if feeding an army. Freeze extra servings if you can. Saves me a lot of time both in cooking and the cleaning.
For me it was depression.
Side note: in general don’t comment on peoples’ bodies regardless of intention
Mine is being chronically ill. With this miracle diet, you too, can become thin!*
*Side effects can include: looking like a cancer patient/skeleton/drug addict, losing hair, losing intestines, major depression, etc…
I love people taking about my body. Don’t make assumptions for everyone. Telling a friend they look great can be a huge confidence builder.
You look great, friend!
Poorest people (in developed countries) are usually pretty fat
2 Fat 2 Work
The actual poorest people right now are dying from disease and healthcare negligence or exposure to extreme weather, without much time or reliable food to get fat
Maybe he’s born with it. Maybe it’s poverty.
Me crying trying to bulk with current groccery prices
Peanut Butter is pretty cheap per calorie and is pretty low carb.
Yea it is and i do eat a fair amount of real peanut butter. I am chronically underweight and trying to build muscle so i need some extra carbs in my diet.
