It has been suggested to me that the reason that poor people are fat is because they can’t afford healthy food. That’s bullshit. Poor people are fat because they eat crappy food out of choice, not economic necessity.

Consider this.

1 Banana has 90 calories. If we estimate fairly generously a banana weighs a half pound and a pound of bananas costs 60 cents.

I don’t know how much a serving costs but I know Krogers brand corn flakes costs 99 cents a box for like 20 servings. I’m not talking about the shitty bag either, I’m talking about the box, because for some reason that makes it better or

something. So we’ll be generous and say 15 cents. and half fat milk (not even skim, the regular 2%)

Which at 3 dollars a gallon / 16 cups in a gallon = 19 cents

1 healthy breakfast under a dollar.That’s like 300 calories and has all the various nutrients a body needs to go through till dinner if necessary.

That’s not what poor people want to eat though. Speaking as a poor person this is the kind of thing I am likely to have for breakfast. Seriously doesn’t this look better?

1 McDonald’s Mc Double cut it up

take 3 eggs

and some butter in a pan

add some table cream (because regular cream just isn’t good enough)

Coffee, because the cholesterol isn’t enough for THIS AMERICAN HEART

Now fold into an omlette and add more cheese, because fuck McDonald’s. I’ll decide how much cheese I want with my hamburger omlette

ENJOY!
