Why do liberals keep saying poor people cant afford to eat healthy?
I just bought 5 lbs of carrots for $3
Carrots are great. What other inexpensive veggies does /pol know about?
>>75615004
1 pound of carrots is like 3 calories
You'd die if you only ate carrots
Not. An. Argument.
>>75615004
Carrots have negative calories. Poor people need calories.
>>75615094
>Poor people need calories
They why are they so fat?
>>75615094
That's celery, carrots have lots of sugars. Just googled it and large carrots are like 30 calories each, which is definitely low.
THIS PLACE IS GETTING DUMBER BY THE FUCKING HOUR ARE THESE BOTS?!
>>75615072
61 grams is 25 calories.
you need to lose weight you fat fuck.
lentils and rice cost like $4, it's just that poor people spend their money on shit, overpriced fast food because.
>>75615067
You can buy 10lbs of potatoes for like $1.50.
Head of lettuce for .35 cents.
Celery is $1 for a bunch.
Pretty much anything that isn't fruit is inexpensive
Carrots are good for suppressing hunger. I eat them every day before work.
Bologna cake is good too if you eat it in moderation.
Bulk beans
Bulk rice
Bulk veggies
Cheap chicken 2x a week
A good crock pot and rice cooker
Mom's spice rack
Literally eat like kings for 4 bucks a day
>>75615004
If its not organic you might as well trash it
Carrots give me diarrhea
What does it mean /pol/?
>>75615328
i want to fucking die
>>75615418
You have a diet with low fiber and your gut cant handle it.
>>75615402
"organic" is a marketing scam but yes they were organic
>>75615328
This picture never ceases to disgust me.
>>75615304
Rice cost ~$.50/lbs at Piggly Wiggly
>>75615389
Rice and beans have a fucking shitload of calories. I understand that if you're poor, you need calories, but it adds up so fast. If you want to fill full, you'll be fat as fuck if you eat mostly rice and beans.
>>75615004
Because most people know fuck all about cooking. People think "I'm going to cook this one meal for each day and that'll be healthy and inexpensive! What!? Why is it so expensive?" when you should cook in bulk. You'd be surprised how much people cook personal meals and then complain about the cost. Buying food in bulk is way cheaper than buying individual ingredients to make a little meal. I buy a fuckton of chicken and beef because I have a smoker. I cook and smoke it all and I have my protein for the entire week, three meals a day for around $90.
>>75615389
>not eating chicken and beef liver, sliced thin and sautéed in a pan with garlic and onion
>not eating gourmet meals for under 3$/serving
I have no pity for the vast hordes of obese McDonald's eaters on food stamps
>my dog and I eat the same food
But that's another thread
Whole Foods
>>75615418
I'm blind someone please describe what's happening in the attached image
Most poor people have poor education of food and meal prep. They see shitty frozen foods or fast food (void of nutrients) and think it's a good deal/filling. If you were to fill a shopping cart with rice, beans, greens, and a bit of fruit, they'd laugh at you for "not buying real food" and say it's too expensive, even when all that food can inexpensively provide meals for the week vs. their shitty fast food that lasts one day or less.
Also, rich libfags live in areas where "healthy" means buying a $12 of raw kombucha, so their perception of efficient shopping and meal prop is skewed too.
>>75615004
because liberal think you have to shop at whole foods to get real healthy food.
>>75615620
I think what you meant to say is that most poor people are stupid which is also why they are poor.
>>75615306
>potatoes
Fucking this, people eat rice and pasta wich don't contain any vitamins as opposed to boiled potato
>>75615726
Pretty much the heart of my message. Just fucking learn how to meal prep and you will eat like no other and save like no other.
>>75615306
>Head of lettuce for .35 cents.
>Celery is $1 for a bunch.
Cheap yeah, but no real nutritional value or caloric density. Better off dealing with root veggies.
>>75615620
>Because most people know fuck all about cooking.
any idiot can put peanut butter on celery
>>75615735
But I don't like baked potatoes...
>>75615004
Basically >>75615680
Libs are sheltered and don't know where to actually get things when you're poor, because they're all upper-middle-class.
>>75615389
Ya but are they, gluten free, gmo free, organic, farm fresh, local, and from a company that condemns Donald Trump....I'm waiting
>mfw poor people eating shitfood
>>75615004
It is never about the poor. It is always about power. They walk on the backs of the poor and minorities and women and whatever else can help them achieve power.
One important thing - notice that most of the lexus liberals all live in white communities, send their kids to schools you and I couldn't send ours to and infest our areas with people they wouldn't let near their own areas.
Grocery in Florida is expensive as fuck compared to grocery back in New York.
>>75615915
Why are liberals so retarded?
>>75615067
Broccoli, fresh spinach and lettuce, all types of onions, more fanciful things like cilantro and asparagus. All dirt fucking cheap. Buy whole chickens if you're super poor, full breasts aren't too expensive, flank steak, chicken/beef livers, steelhead trout (as good as salmon but cheaper) once a week. Eat yogurts (w/coupons you can pay ~50c per) and boiled eggs (3$max x18) for breakfast with bulk muesli or granola w/ milk. Gallon of milk per week is a few dollars.
I'm fucking 6'3 220lbs and I eat like a horse for less than the average person spends a week on takeout.>>75615067
>>75615939
damn that looks good
>>75615389
bulk anything is cheaper than fast food 3x a day. The people saying you can't eat well for cheap probably just suck cock at economics
>>75615939
Damn that looks like shit.
>>75615216
There's no such thing as "negative calories" you fucking mong.
>>75615067
All varities of potato are pratically free.
Apples are about $2.00 a pound
Pears are $1.50 a pound.
Corn is free bro. Like just go ask, "lemme get some cobs." and they will give you free corn.
Cheap meat? Just buy whole chickens. Thigh and breast cuts...you're just paying for the meat processing. Whole birds are about $1.00 a pound.
Best cuts of steak? Chuck eye.
It goes on and on. Shop at Kroger. Everything is cheap. God bless America.
>>75616113
That's the name people give empty calories, you fucking leaf.
>>75615004
op is spot on
Produce is fucking cheap
But in the modern world convenience>everything else
>>75615072
no one said only eat carrots you retard. And that isn't even factually correct.
>>75615389
How the fuck do you cook beans in a way that doesn't take a month and a half?
>>75615939
mmmmmm goddamn it's been forever since I've had Surf 'n Turf. Can almost taste it.
>>75615216
Nothing has negative calories, you still get calories from celery.
>>75616138
>All varities of potato are pratically free
where negro
>>75616015
Also if you have a giant appetite like me, and can't live without snacks, there are always really good coupons for the family sizes of decently branded lunch meat and sliced cheese of your choice. Pair with a bottle of sriracha or spicy mustard and you can have a filling snack for a week for 5$.

>American """"""people""""""
Poor people (and lots of liberals) don't know how easy it is to grow your own food for relatively free.
Pic is my garden last year. (hope I scrubbed the exif data wheeeee)
i work at a grocery store, produce is the most expensive type of food per gram that we sell. other than maybe premium foods like organic fancy cheeses and such
>>75615004
Wow not only can poor people eat a healthy meal for cheap, poor fags and women have cheap entertainment.
Richfags btfo
>>75615004
I don't know murican prices but I cook for myself and my mom. We're going at about 700$ a month. I think we eat pretty healthy. Almost never deep fry anything.
Basics of my meals is
Onions
Carrots
Paprika
Green Beans
Corn
With this you can stir fry it in a wok, cook it as a stew, steam it.
You can add chicken meat with it any kind really.
Then you also have cauliflower and brocoli that go well together.
Mushrooms can always be added to the mix.
Lettuce can be filled with cheap minced meat.
Paprika can be filled with cheap minced meat and cooked in a tomato stew. Well call it Chufte here.
Then if you have eggs, flour, yeast and milk you can make from Bread to Pancackes in 30 minutes.
I see all these poor niggers living in some sort of suburbs with small houses.
Takes this picture here. See all that grass? Why isn't there tons of vegetables and fruit trees planted there?
>>75615004
Because those aren't organic, gluten-free, vegan carrots. If you aren't paying $12 per lb for carrots you're not eating healthy.
>>75616169
Empty calories refers to foods that have a high caloric density, but a relatively low amount of nutritional value. Usually foods high in sugar.
The negative calories myth has nothing to do with the concept of empty calories.
Why are Americans so retarded?
I get my groceries at Walmart. They have a lot of real food there that most people ignore for frozen breakfast sandwiches and frosted cookies.
>>75615216
Negative calories is a myth.
But carrots are the worst vegetable to eat considering they have so much sugar.
Stick to brocolli and brussels sprouts. They aren't memefood yet because the normies haven't memed them to the point of annoyance.
Remember kids. Memes are for normies.
>mfw a poverty stricken nothing eats fast food near me
>>75616138
>Corn is free bro. Like just go ask, "lemme get some cobs." and they will give you free corn.
Where the fuck do you live? Some sort of agriculture community that has an over abundance of corn or something.
that being said corn is pretty cheap but really lacks nutrients. Its good filler though.
>>75616541
i find it to be negligibly cheaper to make a garden, hours of work for 5 bucks worth of tomatoes is kinda pointless
People need to stop consuming fast food, it's addictive as fuck. After you give it up for a while, it becomes fucking disgusting and you'll never want to eat it again.
Rice, fibrous vegetables, potato, oats are all super inexpensive and satisfying sources of carbs.
Skinless chicken breast and certain fish are cheap sources of protein.
Nuts and stuff can be a little more expensive, but don't need to be eaten in vast quantities and are good sources of fats.
Learn to use good sauces and spices, it's pretty fucking easy to get by.
>>75616659
>produce is the most expensive type of food per gram that we sell
How much of that produce is imported from USA or Mexico? That is probably why it is expensive.
onions are very good
>>75616707
Why is it that European 80 year olds are still tilting the fucking soil for their home grown vegetables while niggers sit on the front lawn smoking cigarettes blaming the white man for their poorness.
>>75615072
>I bought carrots so I must only eat carrots
Are you 12?
>>75616525
Cut potatoes into small 1/2" cubes. Season with salt and pepper.
Boil potatoes in microwave for 12-15 minutes.
Drain water from potatoes.
Coat with a touch of olive oil and spcies of your choice.
Sautee potatoes in skillet for 10-15 minutes until browned.
Or bake in oven for 25-30 until brown.
>>75615584
Brown rice doesn't have that many calories.
>>75616763
If you garden smart (like me!) most of the work is done in March/April and then the rest is watering it every day or two. Five fucking minutes of work a day for easily $10-$20 worth of food a day. I had so much food in my small garden I had to give a lot of it away.
I can go into further detail on how to garden smart when you're lazy like me.
>>75615072
Veggies are for vitamins and other nutrients your body needs. You eat lean means like chicken, and grains/grain-like foods like quinoa to get your proteins in.
>>75616484
>putting all that work and full bags of fertilizer and shit to grow $4 worth of potatoes
yeah nah.
>>75615004
Poor people don't have time to cook between working two jobs.
>>75616736
>But carrots are the worst vegetable to eat considering they have so much sugar.
/pol/ is so retarded when it comes to nutrition it makes me want to gag.
A medium sized carrot has about 3g of sugar in it, which make up about half of it's total carbohydrate profile. Carbs are not the enemy, overeating is.
You would have to eat about 15 carrots to get as much sugar as you would get from a can of coke, so carrots are not going to kill you.
>>75616724
You maplefuck, foods that don't have high caloric density can still have fucking empty calories. Literally celery and iceberg lettuce have almosy no nutritional value but they still have calories. Are you even a partly developed humanoid?
I would love to live in a rural area.
Just drove by some old fart at the side of the road selling potaters for 25¢/lb. in a nearby hickish town
And corn for not much more
If didn't have to fly back home I would buy all of his goddamn potatoes, what a deal

>>75615072
5 pounds of carrots contains approximately 930 calories, or 310 calories per dollar spent. For comparison, a McDouble from McDonalds is 390 calories for $1 plus sales tax, perhaps a bit more at certain locations. It might seem an odd standard to use, but the McDouble is one of the most cost efficient items on McDonald's menu, or any restaurant menu for that matter, and the best example of how far you can take a dollar when buying unhealthy food.
Carrots aren't even the most cost efficient vegetable to buy. I can buy a two pound bag of frozen peas for ~$2, containing 700 calories, or 350 calories per dollar spent. I can buy a 3 pound bag of frozen baby lima beans for ~$4.50, containing 1800 calories, or 400 calories per dollar spent.
If we want to get into serious cost efficiency, I can buy regular or sweet potatoes for roughly 50 cents per pound (it varies). Two pounds of sweet potatoes contains about 770 calories, meaning 770 calories per dollar.
There is no monetary excuse to not include items like these in your diet.
>>75616763

It's more honest saying that they're ignorant of proper health. It would hurt feelings, but it would be both true and encourage the government to step up.

>>75617682
this.
Every single carb/starch begins getting broken down to glucose the moment saliva touches it. Potato or candy, it's all the same thing in terms of sugar. The difference is how long the breakdown process happens, and what other nutrients come with the carbs you're consuming. Thus why a potato is more healthy than a snickers bar.

Christ you have no idea how nutrition works. You probably think all rice and beans are fried like the ones your fat fucking ass eats all day. Look at an asian country that uses rice as a staple in their diet and look at their obesity rates.

When the ground thaws out I start out with cold-hearty root veggies and greens. When it gets warmer in the summer and they begin to bolt, I'm already switching over to cucumbers, strawberries, peppers, tomatoes, squash, pumpkin, and small melons (cant grow much fruit in my climate) and then I re-plant cold hardy roots and veggies for the fall and winter. I change what I grow each year based on interest or trying something new. I always keep plenty of herbs going year-round.
>>75618083
Because H-Mart and other foreign markets are targeted towards Asians, who tend to eat more healthy. Why are typically Asians so skinny? Because they don't eat shitty coco-puffs for breakfast that you get at walmart. H-mart clientele are less susceptible to buying something because of advertising, at least from my experience.
>>75615067
Potato, rice and wheat pasta are key poor mode bulk staples. Add butter and spices from grandma recipes for complete starvation driver historic cuisine experience. Get beef pork and chicken to enhance it with vegan tears.

Gardens are inexpensive and easy to do if you don't overestimate your ability.
I was a hobo for like a year due to being put between a rock and a really hard place financially. Lived up in the mountains near Roseburg, Oregon and kept a farm up and going for most my food. Fished and caught game for meat.
It was ludicrously easy to survive. When I was in the middle of rotating crops or couldn't get fish I could go into town and dumpster dive behind food markets. They don't lock their dumpsters 99% of the time and all the food is fresh because the dump it in from a week to several months before expiration, sealed 90% of the time, and they empty the dumpsters almost every day.
It would literally be impossible for me to starve in this country if I tried. America will run out of air before it runs out of excess food. If I can survive on $0 then stupid lazy retards have the opportunity to survive on a monthly salary. That's what this is; the land of opportunity. Not the land of gifts.

Nigger you take a perfectly good steak and turn it into sauce. One of your most famous recipes is to not cook your meat. You eat horse ffs. Don't be taking shit about anyone else's food.
If you just go do it you can get all this food for free.
Dungeness and red crab.
>>75619840
>you take a perfectly good steak and turn it into sauce
???
This isn't a thing. A sauce is made with the juice, some flour and something to bring out the flavor (veggies, spices, ect).
Not the meat itself.
You wouldn't be referring to pot au feu? That's completely different, that's not a sauce at all.
I even make my own natto, no shit.
>>75615004
A lot of it is the logistics of going to the grocery store to buy fresh food and the time it takes to cook it. And chicken are dirt cheap. But that means you need to hit up the store once or twice a week.
Also eating healthy is one thing, but who wants to just wat healthy, people want to eat shit that tastes good. So now you want spices for your chicken, sauce for your veggies. Etc.
You can eat healthy cheap, but you're eating bland food over and over again, and you have to have the time and means to cook it.
It's not that it's expensive to eat health, it's a pain in the ass. Where as if you have money it's easy to eat healthy.
>>75620108
I think he's talking about making broth, which is the base of many sauces including my favorite, fond beau.

>>75616891

>>75620174
>it's a pain in the ass
No it's really not, cooking is hardly trouble and if you plan your route you can drop by the store if you're near it. Saves trips all around tarnation.
>>75615004
What are you going to do with the carrots? Feed them to your rabbits?
Shit neighborhoods don't have stores with fresh food, there's no demand, so they don't stock it. I could go a long way to a store and buy arm fulls of fresh veg that would take time to prepare and to cook (you know, like, to add flavor). Or, I could buy a cheap ass ready meal that takes 4 minutes in the microwave from the 7/11 across the road...
When you're working 10 hour shifts, you don't want to ome home and work in front of the stove.
>>75616839
Part of the reason produce is expensive is the amount stores have to throw way when it ripens. Packaged, processed foods basically don't expire. But for every one (banana, avocado, pineapple, etc.) that gets sold, one (or two) ripen in the bin and end up in the dumpster behind the store.
>>75617382
"California is having a drought". We set a record for almond production in 2015, right in the middle of the drought. It's all allocation.
That's about 880 calories.

>>75615304

In reality stocking your cupboard with beans, oats, potatoes, rice and pasta is much cheaper than eating a 4-6 dollar burger every night, in fact for that price you can feed at least two and up to four if you don't have a specific dieting condition (high protein, high fibre, low carbs, etc).
What they actually mean is they can't afford to eat at vegan restaurants and buy subway instead of kfc. The thought of learning to cook has never crossed their mind.
Almost everybody in this thread is missing the fact that poor communities are often 'food deserts' with only corner stores, gas stations and fast food being sources for food. People often can't afford to make a 20 mile trip to a real grocery store to buy food to prepare.

If you're working 12 hours shifts for minimum wage do you want to come home and work in front of the stove?
Poor neighborhoods don't have stores with cheap fresh food, you have to travel to get it. Also, it takes time to prepare and cook.
The alternative unhealthy prepared food is much quicker and easier and cheaper (after time and fuel costs are factored in).

Make a stew. Its 20minutes work, 1-2 hours waiting and it'll last you a week. Preparing rice and bean meals for lunch during the week is cheap as fuck and quick too. It ends up saving you time in the long run.
As for getting the food in, most corner shops stock frozen vegetables (even if it is bland) otherwise you can use one of your days off to go and get it. Believe it or not but the days off aren't there to have fun. Its to prepare for more work. Its unfortunate that anybody could get themselves into a daily 12-hour minimum wage shift position but its by and large their own fault.

Yer silly! Sustainable gardening pays for itself. Sure I spent money on wood and mulch to make my garden pretty, but you don't need that. Technically heirloom seeds and some startup dirt is the only thing you need to pay for. ONCE.
Get heirloom seeds, grow crops, collect seeds, and you don't have to pay for seeds ever again unless you fuck up or or want other varieties.
You take all of your garden and food scrap (that's that correct type) and compost with it. So you never have to buy fertilizer or new dirt.
Use rain barrels and gray-water to water your plants.
Plan your garden using permaculture methods in order to support a mini-ecosystem, so predators take care of pests, so you don't have to worry about bugs or critters messing with your food.
You can use a variety of natural scavenged things to make trellises, supports, borders, etc.
For instance, this year the only money I spent on my garden was buying some new seeds for variety and some flowers for looks (which were completely optional). And when the summer months roll around, I'll have way too much food to eat. For practically free.
I think every poor person should try to garden. Hell even if they grow one or two things, they can trade with their neighbor growing a few things, and so on and so forth. Build a community. Educate one another. You know, things that help people get out of poverty.
I think you're the retarded one here :)

Growing your own food is awesome, I won't deny that, but you hardly get anything from it. You will never survive on home grown fruit and vegetables, unless you have your own private, let's say, 20x20m field to grow stuff in, for quantity and variety.
For me it's even worse, because I live in colder climates. Few fruit plants survive here, and most bear small or sour fruit, while with root vegetables and spring plants you run the risk of frost all the way to mid-May.
Norwegian strawberries are apparently god tier, though.

We should distribute up to one generic grade Datrex Food Bar to each welfare recipient daily, and allow them to sleep in public bunks well away from towns.
Shower facilities and Spank™* dispensers will also be provided in these areas, as will public video game halls and basketball courts.
* Spank™ is a drug I just invented, which makes the user stoned, lazy, and creates the desire to do nothing but masturbate all day. It's part THC, part depressant, part appetite suppressant (saves on ration bars), part deliriant, part birth control, and part tranquilizer. We have the pharmaceutical knowledge to create a safe Spank™ with only a low frequency of chronic death among users, but who would notice?

>>75624314
Hey you should see my reply here: >>75624160
I think we live in similar climates, because it frosts here Oct/Nov-mid May. Remember, if your soil is alive and decomposing, its temperature will rise. Science 101. So that means you can plant weeks earlier and later in the season. Plus many greens and root veggies can tolerate frost.
Fruits aren't necessary for human survival. Its better to live in northern climates and grow roots and green vegetables anyway.
Black Beans(1 cup dry)
1 cube beef or chicken bullion
2 slices of thick cut bacon, chopped
Take the beans and soak them overnight.
Drain and rinse, gets rid of the stuff that makes you gassy.
Boil on medium/low for a few hours.
Crush up the bullion and stir in, let cook for a minute or two.
Add in the bacon.
Continue cooking for 10-15 minutes.
Serve.
Something that goes great on the side to dip in is to take a lighter cheese like mozzerella, slap some on some triangle cut toast, and broil that until it melts. Shit's amazing and pretty cheap, macros are relatively balanced, calories arent through the roof without the cheesy bread, and god fucking damn its lazy and easy to make if you make it in advance.
Just don't eat a shitton of it or you'll be on the toilet all night, like any bean.

Corporations would sell this type of junk if it were popular.
Eating healthy does get expensive though. Prices fluctuate far more for fresh foods than processed stuff. Fresh good also goes bad a lot faster.
For someone really trying to stretch a budget, fresh healthy foods are a huge money sink. With some couponing and sale matching, I can get tons of free chips, frozen meals, boxes of cereal, soft drinks, cookies and such. Most of which are shelf stable, ready to eat and will last months before going bad. When was the last time you saw a coupon for fresh vegetables?
Extra sauce pickles and a big chicken breast $5.50 each

Easy, quick, no mess.
Loose carrots are much cheaper though.

We do. The last time I was at a youth hostel on Maui, I overheard some Scandinavians, "vegetables here are expensive, but you can get 20 chicken nuggets at McDonald's for 5$, that's unbelievable! Back home it would cost like $20"
That pretty much sums up the difference between Europe and America's food choices. There really are food deserts in America, there are people who don't have cars, so they have to depend on the close by bodegas and fast food places. In many of these documentaries about inner city blacks- they have to take the bus to a far away grocery store, and they can't stretch their budget on the higher priced fresh produce. They often have to go to the nearby bodegas, which lack fresh produce.
These people can still eat healthy on a budget, but it will take some education and know-how.
>>75615004
Ok, liste, I watch recently 3 documentation about obesidity, and all those American fat fucks bought processed food and had Taco Bell and papajohns pizza and cheeseburger as school lunch, alongside industrial sweets and coke.

I never said it was the fault of business owners for not wanting to open businesses in the hood. That's just sadly a reality of life for people in the ghetto. A few gangsters and criminals ruin the food supply for an entire neighborhood of blacks and turn it into a food desert.
These urban blacks can still eat somewhat healthy, but I would say it is much harder for them to do that than for someone like me to do that. I live 6 blocks from a grocery store, while they may have to ride a 30 minute bus or subway to get there, and have to carry everything back by hand.
