Comment on America's Toxic Food System | Some More News
BanMeAgainIWontStop1@lemmy.world 10 months agoNo it’s not. Not in the majority of America. Who do people make this nonsense up?
A double quarter pounder with cheese meal is $11 after tax. $33 to feed my family.
I can feed my entire family on slightly more than than a single burger.
1.5 lbs/ beef $6.50
28oz bag frozen fries $3
Let’s say a dollar for condiments and pantry items. $1
Martin’s rolls: $2
2l of coke $1
$13.50 to feed 3 people.
I can get chicken thighs for$2.50/lbs and make pulled chicken considerably cheaper.

You can make it even cheaper by securing yourself a parcel of unclaimed land, stealing some animals, building a small shack, and then growing all the vegetables yourself!
A cheeseburger from McDonald’s is $2 × 3 = $6. You can buy a large fries for $3 and split it. Steal handfuls of ketchup and salt. $9 to feed your family of three. You can even buy a large soda and split it, ya bourgeoisie fuck, and it took you no energy or time to cook it, instead of the 1+ hour it took to make yours.

Are you saying you can’t use less beef when cooking at home? Or share the 2L of soda? You just used less food.
You can cook 4 burgers + fries for the family in 20 minutes. Many times quicker than driving and waiting in line at peak times. This guy does it all the time youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-tYKWQOe4YMbM7A7LELOs… (sometimes wins sometimes loses).
You need a pan, an oven, and 5 qt pot, a knife, spatula and you can basically make whatever you want. There are very very few Americans without the means to do so. www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=53439. 99.5% of households have a refrigerator. According to HUD there is a homeless population of about 500k. Even if you allow for generous rounding and assume I missing some populations right there… The majority of people have every ability to make a good meal at home for cheap.

That’s just not true in the US.
