Is food really cheap in the U.S.? Or is Unemployment Benefits really good?

Well, it really isn't actually cheap food, in a relative sense.

It is just signifcant and therefore affordable poison.

Plus it's the turkey treatment I bet.

I know that is brutal talk. But I have seen the stalkness of reality.

I speak purely definitively here.

Because let's accept the matter, no farmer with an 11 IQ is going to starve his crop.

well a whole chicken i saw was 19 dollars in us, everything has risen atleast two dollars, thing of cheese 8 dollar, eggs 5 bucks, milk 4, plus yeah there people on food stamps that never were, and if they lie and work they have to pay it back, they dont mess around

uk £5.40 for whole free range (higher tier next step up is organic free range) chicken 1.6kg from aldi

milk £1.35

eggs £2.50 for 6 speciality hen egs that are blue rare breed, normal organic ones cheaper from aldi

its easy in uk to eat healthy but you really need to hit up lidl or aldi, go elsewhere your overall bill will double

Personally, I have a hard time taking "food addiction" seriously. It implies it's just as devastating as every other addiction, and I just don't see it that way. Yes there are similarities, but.... idk

I do not look at a 600lb person the same way as an IV heroin addict... I just don't

they live two VASTLY different lives and have two vastly different set of pressures on them to survive

sometimes I feel biased... idk... I honestly never particularly enjoyed food, so I can't see how someone would seriously be addicted to it... when I eat 2000 calories or 12 donuts and a litre of soda, I feel like utter shit for 6 hours afterwards!!

you never see 600lb homeless people, do you... I think that somehow encapsulates my point

I don't 'get' food addiction either. I'm obviously dependant upon it otherwise I would die, but I use the bare minimum needed to survive.

I honestly see food addiction as far worse than drug addiction because of the sheer volume of shit they are shovelling in their bodies. Plus, because food is a necessity for survival it's an addiction than can never be beaten, only controlled.


The strain that those guys are putting on their bodies is unreal.
 
i try to purchase groceries wisely, eat healthy, this is a store close to home called albertsons, thats where i go sometimes, that market is very high priced, where i saw the 19 dollar chicken, 4 and up milk, there's others of course that are a bit less inexpensive, but yes i remember when fish and chicken were pretty cheap, 6 dollars for a big chicken and couple bucks for milk, and this wasnt that long ago, still blew me away a small chicken, 16 and 19 bucks for chicken, i want to go to aldi, never have, they have a place called trader joes i enjoy, many say its too expensive, i sure do not, love their prices on beers n wines, well in the good old days, 2 buck chuck they use to call it, and it was not that bad tasting(the name was charles shaw)thanks for the heads up on aldi and i thought Britain would be very expensive for some reason

F.U.B.A.R. said:
Yes, I've heard of those.

I put them in the same delusional waste bin as homeopathics, flat earthers, brexiters and anti vaxxers...

I've noticed watching My 600lb Life that all of these people are unemployed (you can't really work when you weigh 600-900lbs, plus many can't get out of their house or even bed), so how can they afford the ENORMOUS amount of food they eat? It's not even just groceries; some of them order huge amounts of takeout multiple times a day.
Just really curious if anyone knows how they can afford that?

someone probably already said this but they probably get a disability check + EBT (food stamps). The worst food you can eat is cheap as shit. Not that surprising we have such an obesity problem with that formula.
 
Not just food but if you want to prepare a wholesome meal ...

7 qt slow cooker I bought on sale for saint paddys day meal about 5 years ago was $19.99

The same brand slow cooker is now on sale for
$89.99
only difference is its painted hot rod red and has a latched lid


We use the oven 99% of the time but its hard to believe an electric slow cooker is still a novelty item ...
