Generally agree. Things may seem hard or even be hard at first, until we actually are forced to live a certain way. Then you either adapt or lose the struggle.

This. I would have to resort to this in college sometimes near the end of the semester.

Even to this day when I can pretty much eat whatever I want, whenever... I have to admit an occasional bowl of Ramen is still one of my guilty pleasures. I actually like the taste and variety but wouldn't want to be forced to eat it all the time, your sodium would be through the roof!!

Food stamp users are the fattest people in the checkout line every time....getting enough food doesn't seem to be the problem. 

If there's a problem, it's that they're getting so much food that they're eating themselves into a new list of obesity related problems.

$4 US in the US would be very tough. I think $10 is doable.

generic mac n cheese = .$50/box... plus 1gal milk/wk ($.57/day)
plus 1 tub butter every 6 weeks ($.07/day),
1 can ravioli/day ($.89),
1 bag walmart chicken nuggets/wk ($.71/day),
1 jug bbq sauce/month ($.13/day)

Total = $2.87 per day.

(steal water from water fountians and save a quarter)

not a great diet for a bodybuilder, but you get kcals.

easely explained

shitty foods are cheap ie. high carb and transfat foods.

high quality foods, fruit, veggies,  wild/organic fed meats/fish/chicken are expensive.

also lower in education/intelligence means not knowing/caring to eat healthy

beans, rice, lettuce, egg whites.  I think it could be done.

this^^^I'd rotate rice with pasta every other day or something. $4 bucks is still pushing it but $6 bucks is doable.

Throw in a water fast day once a week and take that money you save on that day to buy a couple of cheap jars of nuts.

I doubt I could make it on $4 a day for food and I have no desire to try. Today I spent over $30 just buying stuff to fix for dinner. Granted, I didn't use all of what I purchased and what's left can be used for another meal, plus that $32 included a $12 bottle of wine. The dinner was for enough for my wife and myself for those who are keeping a tally.

I fixed prawns plus pasta with Alfredo sauce, sautéed mushrooms, capers and fresh grated parmesan cheese. For a vegetable, I sliced a zucchini, grilled it and served it with sundried tomatoes on top.

I have about a half pound of prawns left, some sliced mushrooms, one zucchini, 3/4 a jar of sundried tomatoes and a 1/2 jar of Alfredo sauce. I am presently drinking the last glass of Chardonnay.

Stereotype diet.  I'm surprise the white boys aren't all over you on this one.  Oh, arce must be from a poor country to come of with that number.  When I was in Mangueira, $4 per day was the magic US dollar number to cover your daily meals.  I'm talking nice South American meat, definitely not a McD's heart attack menu or some of these fools coming with a spoon of rice and a can of tuna.  
ha, man a person doesn't need to eat that much. A bowl of oatmeal, or cornflakes, milk (or water if you are really cheap), and then tuna for lunch, or skip lunch and do tuna for dinner.

Nope. When I bought the stuff for dinner, I though our daughter would be eating with us, but she bailed to spend time with a friend up the street. My wife doesn't drink. The bottle of wine was intended for two minus a little I put in the Alfredo sauce. I have a policy that once you open a bottle of wine you must drink it, it doesn't keep well. LOL! The wine is Kendall Jackson Private Reserve Chardonnay. It is nicely oaky.

When I fix Welsh Rarebit, I use beer. The recipe calls for a cup of beer. I always drink the remainder of the bottle. That's how it goes when you cook.

Food stamps are supposed to help you buy food. Not to completely give you free food for the month. I guess in Newark that stunt was to guilt Democrats into giving food stamp receivers a complete free ride. Food stamps as well as disability social security has exploded under Obama.
