but even cheap foods adds up when taken in huge amounts...

if they cut the calories in half each day they could save a lot of money... not to mention the amounts they spend on cigarrettes and booze

the money is in their hands, they just waste it



This is the best logic I have ever heard from Bluto.

Spot on.

Food costs a lot of money.

Maybe if they didnt eat so much they wouldnt be "poor" ?




It might also be depression.

From a former Fat guy who is still working on getting skinny, I dont care what any of you say my fucking food bill now is like 3 times as much then it was when I was fat. Junk food is CHEAP, healthy food is expensive PERIOD!!!!

I fed my whole family for less then $100 a week when we did not watch what we ate. Hell now I spend at least $200 plus every week on food. Hell I spend over $100 just getting essentials at Aldi's and then we get into the good stuff at Super Walmart.

Yeah like I said eating clean is expensive.

I'm down under 300 now, was 298 on Saturday. I'm gonna be skinny dammit, well at least 240 :)

Alot :)

I'm also feeding the wife who is cutting also, plus two kids. I just started a whole new diet plan a week ago it consist of alot more food. I'm only doing two 50 gram shakes a day then 5-6 meals with 75 grams of protein in each one.  It is a carb cycling plan, just changing stuf up to keep the body guessing.

I can also testify that cheaper food - in general - is usually processed and not as healthy.  I used to live on Hamburger Helper; I would get it when the store had a special and I used coupons on top of that.  Now I try to buy more fresh (or at least frozen as opposed to canned) vegetables and fruits, leaner meats and not as much rice or pasta.  It costs more, but to me it is worth it, and I feel fortunate to be able, despite my un-getbig-like meager salary, to absorb the expense.
