A $5 pound of meat??? Meat is up to $12+ a pound here

Are you in a bubble that dodged inflation? My cart at the grocery store went from $60 2 years ago to close to $200 every trip

I don't think you grasped that it was a slight exaggeration, and I used some of the least exciting food possible.

Also, $5 a pound of meat? Hah. Down below you seem condescending towards anyone who, quote, "lives in a metropolis".

A shitty piece of meat is definitely above that price per pound, and I live in suburbia.

This is just as unhealthy for you as fast food, with preservatives shoved into the bottle to boot.

Fast food excuses are what the fat and lazy use to justify their indolence.

Actually, the intellectually deficient associate the consumption of fast food with weight exclusively, when this is simply not the case. A lot of fit athletes use fast food for "dirty" carbs and fats in a pinch, and is a staple of body building for the last like, 50 years.

But the fact of the matter is, food prices are rising and fast food prices aren't rising as quickly. To add on to this point, anyone working extra hours or a second job -- ostensibly not lazy -- may find themselves in a position where fast food becomes a regular part of their diet, especially in the present situation.

For ~$5, you can get 2000 calories of food from fast food. It is undeniably the most efficient source of calories per dollar.

Now let's say you're a trucker. Definitely not lazy people. Say you're on the road almost every day. When do you gain access to groceries, a kitchen, and time to cook while meeting shipping deadlines and grabbing your federally mandated sleep?

No, they'll tend to eat fast food, restaurants, -- many of which just microwave from packages for significant parts of the meals anyway -- preserved snacks like jerky that can be eaten quickly on the road, etc.

Truckers are hard workers. Not lazy. And yet they don't get as much time to eat right or exercise because they're delivering our shit that makes us able to eat right and exercise right.

So there are a LOT of reasons why people turn to fast food, and the price per calorie is already one.

Further, if you manage your caloric, protein and carb intake you can maintain a healthy weight off of fat food too.

There is more to people being outright fat than just where they eat, or even what they eat. It's really how much they eat, a disconnect from how many calories are actually in what they're eating, and an overly body positivity culture that shames you for being skinny anyway.

Lastly, it's about $3 a bag it looks like for 16 ounces of florets. You would have to consume ~45 florets in a 16 ounce bag. That's a lot of florets.

It's also only about 158 calories.

it is illegal to grow produce gardens in many areas of the usa. not sure about the rest of the world.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Growing a garden takes time and effort, and not feasible for every area. For example, rodents run rampant in an area a few miles near me because they flushed the sewers and are constructing homes. This has been an ongoing problem for years now.

My aunt's garden was destroyed by them. To stop rodents from getting in, they'd have to spend a lot of money on maintenance, or build an enclosed garden -- but oh wait, you can't do that without expensive materials and permits which may not be granted.

Obviously no one "forces" anyone to eat McDonald's, yes. But there are a lot of demoralizing restrictions right now with the rapidly rising cost of food, diminishing time from families who are trying to keep up with rising property costs and gas costs, and still many mouths to feed.

So it's easy to understand -- if you're not retarded and slow -- why people end up turning to fast food more frequently, especially right now.

To act like it's feasible for everyone to have a garden is laughable, and not everyone has the opportunity, space, funds, time or even legal allowance to do so. That's just not reality. Your own personal experiences and situation does not mean everyone else has those same experiences or situations.

But yes -- people aren't going hungry. That's true. People have opportunities to obtain food for cheap, even if it's fast food. It is also not our responsibility to "end world hunger" either.

I am sorry These new modern doctors are not doctors anymore, remember the real ones quit or died during the plandemic we have the ones with D’s in the classrooms. Disappointed ones= criminals/mafia doctors asking if you got the jab.
