whenever i see some shady-as-hell infographic about how cheap it is to eat healthy it’s like… do you people know about mac and cheese? like why are you comparing everything to big macs when mac and cheese exists. a box of super cheap mac and cheese costs about forty cents. for a buck you can get enough margarine to make eight boxes of mac and cheese. a half-gallon of milk is like a buck fifty and that’s sixteen boxes of mac and cheese. so like $3.20 for mac and cheese plus $1 for margarine plus $1.50 for milk and now you have about sixteen meals (assuming two meals to a box) with enough milk left over for a box of cereal that you probably also got for $1. $6.70 and you’re set for the week. another two bucks will get you a loaf of white bread and a jar of peanut butter, another variation on the continuing theme of eating nothing but carbs and fat. that’s the fucking baseline you’ve got to compete with if you’re going to convince me that it’s fiscally feasible for someone who’s broke as shit to switch to a healthy diet, not the goddamn dollar menu.
I saw “shady-as-hell infographic about how cheap it is to eat healthy” and knew this was going to be a good post.
THIS ^^^^
Holier than thou middle class and wealthy people telling poor people how ‘unhealthy’ they eat and how ‘easy’ and ‘cost effective’ it is to eat healthier if you just really ‘want to’ piss me off so much.
