Yes I live on 100$ a month in foodstamps I cant afford to eat unhealthy food

>pineapple

Fruit has been bred to be as sweet as possible. It's biological candy.

Grapes and pineapples are junk food IMO. Use in moderation.

>>11145701
Produce and meats where I am are triple what they cost in the states so I'm eating a lot of carbs and dried proteins. It's possible and when I'm not a depressed piece of garbage one day I'll have garden and starting canning my yields.

I haven't made a thread or anything. I probably won't but I'm a guy living on welfare, discovering how to live not just survive.

The most interesting part so far I've noticed is that since I don't work every minute of every day is mine. I can make my own bread everyday. I have the time to go shopping for clearance items. I have the time to trade things with other people (facebook/bunz).

Life becomes humble and all stress melts away. I think I'm going to start volunteering somewhere I feel like I'm making a difference just to combat the feeling of worthlessness that I didn't account for. Strangely it's almost as bad as the feeling when you hate your job and you feel stuck.

tldr: yes

she also bought 2+lbs of grapes out of season, she posted the receipt, it was like $5.99/lb. If she put any effort to eat frugally, she could eat for a week on $32

>>11145701
Yes,
Cabbage & Onion Stir-fry
Chicken
Beans
Brown Rice
Eggs
Buy flour, yeast, and salt to make your own bread

Chicken legs, thighs bone in and with the skin is cheap. Legs make great broth for soups and you can bulk the calories by adding beans or rice.

Just buy what's healthy that's marked down / on sale. What is so hard about this? Unless you're blind or all produce is significantly cheaper in california, I don't see how this is so complicated for a lot of people.

Didn’t that one guy prove it’s possible to eat healthy at McDonald’s.

You won’t gain weight on it but your body will starve for micronutrients.

oh no, it's a ''i can't eat healthy, fruits are expensive :('' episode

>>11145701
Her real problem is that her perception of healthy eating has been tainted by a perception of white people food. White people know we only buy fruits after buying our proper food, but the depiction of white people food in the media has convinced others that fruit is central to their healthy diets.

>>11145715
>Fruit has been bred to be as sweet as possible. It's biological candy.
Incorrect. Wild fruit has the same average sugar content as domesticated fruit, sometimes higher.

Domesticated fruit is just more convenient to consume.

Fruit is candy. Eat rice and beans with cheap vegetables. Add meat and dairy when your budget allows.

>>11146552
Imagine being this retarded. No really. Just imagine

>>11146461
This 100%
Fruit has valuable nutrients but we only have a couple serves a day and most of the food whites eat is vegetables such as cabbage, swiss chard, green beans, carrot, radishes, onions, turnips, spinach, brussels sprouts, grains such as wheat and barley, legumes and pulses such as lentils, chickpeas, broad beans, peas, plenty of dairy foods and like a serving of seafood or meat most days. It's not expensive to eat like a white person either.

>>11146503
Wild fruit is also highly seasonal. It's a treat, not something that should be part of your regular diet.

Read my post again you retarded cunt, I said it has valuable nutrients but we only have a couple servings a day. It's more expensive that veg. I refuse to believe you're that fucking dumb and capable of operating a computer.

>>11145701
the person in that image isn't using their thinking brain.

nuts are expensive, but they kind of make up for it by being calorie dense. everything else bought is arguably not in season and also entirely fruit (minus the soda), which isn't bad but probably isn't nutritionally complete nor completely satisfying.

The key to eating healthy on the cheap is to eat the seasons, and to actually pay attention to when you're shopping. Carrots tend to be cheap always, same as celery. For fruit, apples and oranges tend to be cheaper and always available (depending on where you live of course, and they will likely always be cheaper when they are in season).

Getting foods that are less prepared tends to be cheaper as well, compare a whole chicken to chicken breast to tendies, it's cheaper to buy the whole chicken and prepare it all yourself (but who wants to do that right)

Eating healthy can be cheap, definitely. It's not as easy as stuffing your face full of garbage and hoping for the best though (nutritionally speaking).

>>11146737
>nuts are expensive
Sure, but only when bought in those convenience packages like she did. Buy them in bulk and its like $8/lb for almonds

>>11146576

Dont forget toxins and antinutrients

>>11146575
This. Seasonal fruits are an absolute pleasure.

If you're on /ck/ and aren't going to a local farmer's market to check out produce you are a retard and need to get your shit straight.

>>11145701
Hay que ir la Cardenas o El Super.

>>11145701
that soft drink is empty calories and berries are a scam. They're not filling and they go bad way faster than apples, grapes, oranges, or nectarines.

Eating healthy and buying from a grocery store are so much cheaper once you do the math on how much a meal from McDonalds costs vs buying a loaf of bread, ground beef, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and cheese from the local store.

The issue is TIME. Poor people hustling from one job to the next don't have the time to cook and become good at it. But eating healthy is way cheaper.

>>11146688
retarded fruitarian begone

seething ketolard

>>11145701
Yeah it's called not being retarded and buying what's in season.

SEVEN

Eating healthy literally means eatimg less. You're not gonna be any better off of you eat your weight in avocados as opposed to burgers.

>>11148270
>t. brainlet
You'd be significantly worse off, since burgers (while imperfect) have reasonably balanced macros, while eating only avocados will not meet your nutritional needs

>>11146688
That's all shilling paid for by big fruit businesses

Someone post the limes

>>11146688
Based and red pilled, fruit-bro

A pack of chicken breasts is like 12 dollars, that's 4 or 5 meals.
The rice to go along with that is like what, 3 dollars?
Frozen corn or beans to go along with that is likely another 3 dollars.

You cannot get 4 meals at macdonalds for 18 dollars, this excuse is bullshit, learn to cook and adapt.

>>11146688
Listen black lady, your diet of out of season fruits isn't going to sustain you. Give up.

>>11146688
Good post, but I doubt it's boomers. They're the ones going "make sure to eat lots of fruits and vegetables! And plenty of meat and carbs, too!"
Fad diets are for the young.

>>11148926
From the thumbna I thought it was going to be two garbage bag full of limes aping that retarded post

Healthy food is just white people food wtf.

>>11145701

>mysoulistransparent

Is that due to how much grease she's been eating?

>>11145701
How can it be?
So 5 buxs each of the fruit, (20) and 10 for the small bottle of pop?

I would guess 2 for the pop.
3 each for the grapes
5 each for the pineapple and berrys
That's still only 18. Can someone stateside tell me how?

Plus these are snacks.

I got someone stopping for dinner today but was planning on using up my left over spaghettibolg meat.
I chopped up a red pepper, onion, garlic, celery and sweed to bulk it out. Chunk in a tin of beans and tomatoes and its going to cost about £2 to bulk out my left overs. Put in about £1 worth of rice and you got enough food for 3 people.

>>11145701
>healthy

lolmericans

if you're poor af you can live off rice, beans, dairy and eggs meat, fruits and vegetables are too expensive per calorie

>>11149269
>Chunk in a tin of beans
>Chunk in
Stop it. This is a retarded American boomerism. You “chuck” the beans in, not “chunk” them in.

>>11145701
Nope, and it's also not possible to eat under your maintenance calorie requirement if you're poor either. You've got to stuff your face with fried food until you can't walk or the government will take your kids and shoot your dog.

>im fat because I eat mcdonalds every day and I can't afford better food because I'm poor!
Sollution: only eat half of the big mac meal for lunch, and eat the other half for dinner. That way you reduce your calorie intake greatly, and you save even more money!

The black people just need to increase their ability to think like a white. Eating healthy becomes so much easier. If you are a white and you need to eat healthier you just have to think like an Asian.

>>11145701
I bet those green grapes were like $8 - $10 per bag themselves. Those things are expensive as fuck. The bitch probably thought the per pound price was the whole bag, got to the till, found out the real price, got mad, and then made this article to complain.

Healthy is a meme dichotomy, but McDonalds would probably leave you micro deficient on a low calorie diet.
