Comment on Need to lose 15lbs in less than a week? I got you.
HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 1 day agoThe reality is the majority of all healthy food in the US is gated behind high prices
Seems so odd to me, here in the UK some of the cheapest foods are things like carrots, potatoes, beans, oats. Things that people should be eating more of.
Don’t have enough time is the next excuse I hear. I just made lunch in seconds by combining the free milk at work with some roughly ground oats. Along with some dried fruit. Incredibly cheap meal and takes far less time than walking to the McDonalds across the road to order a burger.
I’ve seen videos of people like Atomic Shrimp post videos of 1 dollar a day meal challenges and stuff, and I was always absolutely gobsmacked by how cheap vegetables, flour, etc were in the UK, even when the price is converted to USD.
They’re paying pennies everywhere I pay dollars.
Tbh doing it for £1 now would be difficult to make videos on. Not because you can’t but because compared to when he started there is less choice.
Only so many ways you can cook the same or similar ingredients.
Which is probably one of the many reasons why its been a good while since his last cooking challenge video.
he still does cooking videos, just not like " feed 2 people 3 meals for 1 dollar" videos.

So you have a place to store that food? Yeah - when I worked retail we had a fridge and a cabinet in the breakroom, but there were 200 people working in that building all having to share a single fridge and cabinet, which means they effectively didn’t exist.
But there were a couple fast food places in the parking lot.

My lunch didn’t require a fridge to store it. Room temperature or even out in the sun would have been completely fine. Anywhere you feel like placing a tub really.
