You're not feeding 4 people on a red baron pizza and no one is getting fat from sharing one with 4 people. Fast food is expensive, and so is pre packaged meals. To many people get home from work and just eat shit instead of learning to cook.

Steamed veggies are cheap, rice is cheap, beans are cheap, grab some seasoning and a pack of chicken breasts and you can eat good for a few days for less than a single trip to McDonald's for 2 people now.

I guess the dinner I served saturday night was just a drug induced hallucination then, afterall.. You seem to clearly know what I do and have done better than I do.

Cool, then everyone in your family must not be what they're talking about in this thread since you probably don't eat 5000 calories a day.

Funny how the goalposts shift from “its easy and cheap to eat healthy” to “You’re not who we’re talking about, we’re talking about other, more convenient and strawmannable people”

[–] SupraMario 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's not shifting the goal post, it's calling out your bullshit that somehow a $5 red Baron pizza for 4 people is enough to make people fat. 380 calories is 1/4 of a red Baron Pepperoni pizza, if you ate one 3 a day, that's less than most adults can survive on, you're going to lose weight. So no I'm not the one moving some goal post or creating a strawman, that's your doing.

Literally no one said a red baron for 4 people will make you fat. I asked for a healthy alternative that can feed a family for the same exceedingly low price. Nothing more, nothing less. Certainly nothing to deserve your insane aggression and bullshit over.

So now you are not only shifting goal posts, you are doing the classic internet bullshit of replying to your own imaginary idea of what people said.

[–] SupraMario 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No shit, that's why I said you pointing this out was not the discussion at hand. You pointed it out that a $5 red Baron could feed 4 people, because healthy food is more expensive. I called that out as bullshit. This entire thread is about people who complain that it's hard to eat healthy and not be fat.

[–] A_Random_Idiot -1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I called that out as bullshit. This entire thread is about people who complain that it's hard to eat healthy and not be fat.

.. where you proceed to lose your shit and act like a cunt when someone asks how to provide a "healthy" meal for the same low costs as an unhealthy meal.

[–] SupraMario 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No you didn't, you proceeded to act like $5 red Baron was the only way to feed a family of 4 and that it would make people fat....

[–] A_Random_Idiot 1 points 8 months ago

And now we're right back to ignoring whats actually being said in favor of replying to your own imaginary arguments.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Ok, yes on everything but damned if Chicken is cheap. Just noted as $6+/lb the other day...

Maybe I gotta take advantage of being out in the farm fields and get some of those yard chickens.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Where are you located? It’s only $3.10 here, and $2.80 or less when it’s on sale (fairly often).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Western MN, in part possibly because it's a small shop

[–] SupraMario 0 points 8 months ago

Ouch, most major shops it's like $3 a lb on average.
