They say I should live below my means, but isn't paying A LITTLE BIT more for food not a smart investment though? Like, I want to stay healthy and eating food from cans all the time is neither healthy nor enjoyable.
>>61232901Your health comes before money.
>>61232909Exactly! So it's okay for me to splurge A BIT more onfood, right? It doesn't have to be an extravagant feast, I'm not saying that. Just a decent meal and stuff.
>>61232901Usually healthy meals aren't very expensive. Atleast the ones where you use basic raw ingredients to make healthy meals.
>>61232927All raw ingredients except meat are cheap. I’m baffled that the normie retards haven’t figured out there’s no actual reason red meat is so expensive, that they just inflated the price and told everyone to go fuck themselves
>>61232927>Atleast the ones where you use basic raw ingredients to make healthy meals.What if I'm shit at cooking and hate doing it?>>61232939Ranchers and butchers need a profit too
>>61232999How do you plan to eat healthy?
>>61233017By eating out or paying for higher quality food at the store with minimal preparation time, like buying salmon slides (I just have to open it and eat it) or idk hire a cook?I'm such a terrible cook lmao
>>61232999Most of the meat cost is inflated by artificial feed and the farming by artificial fertiliser which we only use to make supermarkets profitsFake fake fake and it all gets tossed away. Food should mostly be produced in the same country as you live, with some luxury imports. The minute some natural disaster happens across the world we are starving, modernity is rrtarded
>>61232901Just start your own SNAP program
>>61233055I'm not a burger
OP, you are under the fundamental misunderstanding that canned foods are cheaper than fresh foods. Think about it. Why would green beans that were cooked, canned, and had increased shipment costs becuase of the canned water it is in, be cheaper than fresh green beans.A can of beans is like over a dollar, and you can get a 5 lb bag of dried beans for like 5 dollars.Retards think fast food is cheaper because "OMG THE PRICE OF BEEF IS SO HIGH!" but if you buy a pack of ground beef, you could make like 10 burgers. When it comes to snacks, you will never find processed food cheaper than an apple, a banana, some oatmeal, etc. The only people that push the narrative "healthy food is too expensive!" they cherry pick the most premium meats from whole foods. Or they buy fancier fruits, like a whole container of strawberries which are sort of healthy, but also 98% water and sugar.
>>61233191Yeah I guess you're right. I think the cooking is what actually vexes me. Thank you
>>61233191Beans and rice is not nutrition you retard, all the stuff that is nutritious is expensive
>>61232901Well I buy only decent food I want to eat now I made it. if your poorfag then its out of reach for u these days. THE DIVIDE GROWS :)
>>61233020Eating out is for the rich only, or the foolish . sorry chud!
>>61232901>food from cans all the time is neither healthywhy
>>61233257LOL no. It's funny that millenials/zoomers who don't know how to cook just assume "everything that isn't preprocessed is just starchy vegan shit"I didn't say live exclusively off of beans and rice by the way, but those can get you most of your nutrient requirements, then throw in some eggs or cheap meat for protein and animal fats/nutrients. >but meat is expensive!You probably just look for frozen chicken breast and think everything else is barbaric. but try getting less desirable pieces of the animal, like chicken thighs, or a whole chicken. And rotisserie it yourself. Then you can make chicken broth from the remains.broccoli and spinach are cheapBlocks of cheese that you slice/shred yourself are pretty cheap. Peanut butter is cheap as hell.This all depends on how lazy your are and how much you need to save money. If you have disposable income and are willing to pay for the convenience of premade bread or preshredded cheese, that's completely fair, but don't say "healthy food is more expensive or it's just beans and rice."
>>61233295Because of chemicals
>>61233314All those things you listed as cheap are inflated in cost by anything from 100%-400% in the west. Also while I like eggs it’s the only thing that still packs bang for your buck but you can’t eat them all day. Where I’m from whole chickens are not cheap, they cost the same as a pack of chicken thighs but for less meat. And I’d never cook a broth using the bones because buying bone broth is more cost effective than adding tons of fresh veg (who the fuck has leftover veg to use come on) and leaving a slow cooker on all night. You’re not described a very cheap or nutritious diet here you’re just being an asshole
>>61233295If it's fruit, you're getting a ton of corn syrup, if it's not fruit, you're getting a bunch of sodium. They may throw extra preservatives or chemicals in there as well, but not necessarily
>>61233317No BPA liner in most canned food. (They're labeled as such)It's not heated inside of the can you're buying it in either retard.It's unironically significantly healthier to live off of canned food than tv dinners and fast food.
>>61233326NTA but sounds like you just want to complain about every option being too expensive. No matter what's suggested you just say it's all inflated. I guess don't eat then.Maybe try getting a job? Or go scream outside at the sky with the other poor people?
>>61233338If you just admit things are shit right now without giving your lame boomer advice to live like a poverty line single man like they did in the 90s, then this conversation is overThe one thing nobody wants to hear any more is unsolicited bad adviceThe slop eaters won’t listen anyway and the people that are struggling despite doing everything they can just get pissed off seeing this crap
>>61233365Did you know you can eat dandelions?
>>61233365>If you just admit things are shit right now without giving your lame boomer advice to live like a poverty line single man like they did in the 90s, then this conversation is overYou are talking to yourself, I have given no advice in this thread. Things suck right now for young guys. If all you can do is talk about how "shit" everything is, you should just lay down and die. Seriously.>The one thing nobody wants to hear any more is unsolicited bad adviceThis thread was literally made soliciting advice>the people that are struggling despite doing everything they can just get pissed off seeing this crapThis just sounds like more ineffectual male venting/resentment. Assuming you are an adult man, everyone has shit going on, your plight is not unique. I sincerely hope you stop acting like a hopeless woman and get your shit together, you are like a baby throwing his toys out of the stroller.
>>61233402>I have given no advice in this thread.Faggot liar, not reading any more just stop posting. Low IQ
Rice cooker $30Bag of rice $20Bag of frozen vegetables $10Protein twice a week $40There's your food bro. Most rice cookers will also steam vegetables so just throw everything in with some salt pepper and whatever else. Baking chicken and making stews with meat will stretch out your protein for much longer
>>61233451Yeah just stretch out your protein bro it works for stick man Holocaust victim looking mf like me4chan is not for low IQ people, you have the whole internet fuck off
i cant cook! = too stupid to follow 5 minutes of youtube instructions.like anything you have to fucking do it get better. maybe you fuck it up and learn. maybe it's good. either way it's a good outcome. i know 2 people who can't cook and the reason is they can't follow very basic instructions. one is legitimately mentally retarded. the other is 6, but they're learning. are you a room tempie or 6? whats your excuse?
>>61233327You can buy canned fruit with no sugar added. I buy a mix of fresh and canned fruit because sometimes I just wanna a shitload fruit at once and not worry about it going bad
>>61233458What happened to you recently? Serious question.
>>61233527Imagine if you can having to interact with the retarded all day. Having them get in the way in your daily activities, trying to interact with them and finding a cold stupid stare of the regressed mind, logging on to the internet and every search you do is clogged by retards and results for retards, every bit of media for the stupid. You try harder and harder to find an oasis where retards don’t inhabit so you can have a moments peace and clarityIt’s like a constant pain from a thorn that can’t be physically removed. Most of the time you can put up with it but some days you wake up and youre like FUCK THIS SHIT
>>61233295Canned food is heat treated thus most vitamins are lost
>>61232939Offals are cheap because normies are picky morons.
>>61233572I get it, you're so smart and big brained yet food is too expensive and cooking is beneath you. Even though you're actually the brightest in the room, you're complaining like a poor person cut off from EBT about prices.Maybe if you do nothing Mr. Big will pull up with a bag of money and pay you for being a tier one faggot. Until then you should probably just doompost and whine.
>>61233848Crab in bucket mentality lol. IQ at 80 topsYou’re just normie cattle, what are you doing here?
>>61232999Learn to cook you stupid nigger it’s not hard. What a waste of trips.
>>61233858Telling you to stop crying about everything isn't "crab in bucket" mentality, welfare baby.Someone with a high IQ would know that btw
>>61233414Lmao stop trolling on 4chan.
>>61233959>bro we all have to deal with it don’t point out that’s it’s bad and try to make it betterThe normie cattle folksThat is crab in a bucket mentality btw, your whole genetic makeup tries to exclude everyone not following the herd even if it’s insane like it currently is. Great biological behaviour in historical times but in modernity it’s positively poisonous
>>61233572The problem arises when you aren’t actually smarter than people around you, you’re just so stupid that you think you are.
>>61234015Ok, what's your solution if it's not to improve your situation
>>61234039>you’re just stupidMy job is objectively not for stupid peopleTry again Mr. Crab
>>61234113My solution is to convince people to end their oppressorsThis is no magic system that oopsie accidentally makes things shittier every year, this is a bunch of faggots with easily accessible names that go to an economic conference each year and decide how they are going to micro-manage the world and then they spend the next 5 years implementing it- mass migration to replace white people with stupid easily controllable brown people- managed economy with strict laws to stop small businesses competing (bad for the poor investors you see) and make countries so entwined they are no longer able to control their own policy as it will harm them economically- wars started as an excuse to raise energy prices and control food supply, making us poorer and weaker- an economic casino with all that entails, allowing money to be laundered to where it’s needed to shit on the population some more- a non functional justice systemIt’s as bad excess wise as periods of the Roman Empire and more tyrannical because they weren’t trying to kill half the people they ruled. And you dare to say “bro we all have to put up with this just shut up”. Idiots like you keep this system running because you are cattle
>>61234159I see. Do you have some sort of show or media company disseminating this info?What's your plan for convincing everyone this is going on?
>>61233314>premade breadYou bake your own fucking bread?
>>61234159>more tyrannical because they weren’t trying to kill half the people they ruledSo killing half the poplace would be less tyranical? Because it's like mercy-killing or something?
>>61233475>>61233869Cooking is beneath me and my time and energy is better spent building up my life (to then have the money to not have to cook myself to eat outstanding food)
Yes, absolutely. Healthy fresh food give you more energy and brainpower while minimizing time lost to injury or sickness, and will allow you to earn far more money than you might save by buying shitty food. Increased mental clarity will yield better investment returns as well. There's literally no downside to eating right. Just don't get gluttonous or fat.
>>61233191They can be cheaper because of the difference in perishing over time. The rotation of fresh crops adds a perpetual and inflation-prone expense in supply chain. The cans can endure at lower cost because of this.
>>61233191>Why would green beans that were cooked, canned, and had increased shipment costs becuase of the canned water it is in, be cheaper than fresh green beans.Economies of scale
>>61237860Gotcha, thanks!
>>61237969Elaborate
