Welfarists Lie about the Cost of Vegetables http://www.npr.org/2013/03/01/173217143/why-process-food-is-cheaper-than-healthier-options Why would they compare the most expensive items in the produce section, berries, essentially seasonal delicacies, to the cheapest possible processed food?  Because where vegetables are available, they're cheaper than processed foods pound per pound.  Of course the shit for brains compare calorie/dollar like the cheesey beef slurry diet doesn't make you obese.   If you don't live in a food desert in scary poor neighborhoods or Alaska, please shut the fuck up, you've never bought vegetables in your life if you think snack foods are cheaper.  I know for a fact at least that my coworkers, friends, and family are making up excuses, blaming """poverty""" on their deadly habits, because I shop at the same fucking grocery store as them.   For a dollar each, I bought a pound each of green beans, carrots, jalapenos, rice, snap peas, dried beans, wheat berries, oatmeal, and frozen veg.  Also for a dollar or less, I bought a bag of onions, lettuce, cabbage, canned tomatoes,  garlic, canned vegetables, pasta, and whole grain bread.  In the winter I buy PROCESSED frozen veg, canned veg, and bags of fresh beets, parsnips, and other root veg, plus all the veg available year-round. I know I don't need to go into such detail for shitlords, but apparently the produce aisle is as exclusive as a hottie-only club, people aren't allowed in without their thin privilege.  Yeah, high-quality cheese and beef is fucking expensive. You don't need more of that shit. You need more veg, which, yes, I can tell just by looking at you. It's so fucking easy to spend $20/person/week on groceries in the Midwest, despite all the trailer trash fats, and I almost always make one-pot meals in under 20 minutes. WOAH TEN MORE MINUTES THAN MAC N' CHEESE.  The only reason this even bothers me is that my meals, which I eat in quietly alone, trigger my people, like the underhanded compliments on being fitter and hotter than them despite not trying like they do.  So they give me unsolicited defensive bullshit all the time.  I want to start sharing dieting advice on my social media because I really want to believe this is just a matter of ignorance.
