      ditch all the sugar drinks and drink plane old water, like out the toilet.

      Rice and beans can be made in 1000 different ways. $1/lb uncooked.

      Eating out is almost never a healthy option.

      Healthy and expensive don’t correlate in my outlook. I spend less eating better. Factor in not eating out and my pockets are fat, but not my ass.

        Too many people think eating healthy means broccoli needs to be 100% of your calories.

          The planes collect it as they fly through clouds. Imagine drinking water that’s touched the ground…

        “If you want to be healthy, you must suffer and just eat beans and drink toilet water”

        What a great argument for healthy living.

          Go into the produce isle for once, veggies are cheap…fish and chicken is cheap. A single trip to McDonald’s for 2 is like $25 or more now. You can get like 6 or 7 whole chicken breasts for that price and have money for potatoes and fresh veggies.

      I spend about $12/day on ingredients, which is about the cost of a single meal at McDonald’s which is far less healthy. I don’t think that actually stands up when you look at the prices of cheap food (chicken, rice, beans, other legumes, potatoes) plus the costs of sides (fruits, vegetables).
