How much is broccoli where you live? I can get a frozen bag for a couple bucks and a pair of salt and pepper shakers at the dollar store.
In no timeline is prepped fast food cheaper than making food at home you bought at the grocery store. A $5 pound of meat and a bottle of BBQ sauce makes 4 delicious meatloafs. Throw in the bag of broccoli and salt + pepper shakers and you have dinner for 4 for around $7-8.
Fast food excuses are what the fat and lazy use to justify their indolence.
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 live where the meat is. Do you live in some awful metropolis? That would be why.
Think where these "magic bubbles" actually are and whether you are actually looking outside of one and misinterpreting the rest of the world as being the ones inside a bubble?
im not in a metropolis. southern alabama.
And if anything, I thought I was in a bubble and that it was worse everywhere else.
town population of 40k
Imagine how great $5 I would love to live there, but I live with my sister and I do not have money. Here just simple meat is like around $17.00 a package, but I cook for me so it is like 3 or 4 meals
It is unfortunate you are poor and lazy.
Quid pro quo.
Ground beef is around $5 a pound in my southern state. That’s way overpriced now, before it was much cheaper to feed 4.
Shit, I just got 85/15 ground beef for 3.50 a pound the other day at the grocery store.
I can't believe some places would charge that much!
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.
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.
