I'm broke af, get under 300 in EBT per month currently, and my diet is clean, high quality, and animal protein focused. You can absolutely eat well on a budget, as it stands right now, if you're willing to learn about food and make your own meals. They want us sickly and defeated, I've come to consider it an act of rebellion.

I go to Europe often for work and people are relatively thin there compared to America. They definitely don't eat less than Americans, or exercise appreciably more. I'm convinced it's all the seed oils, chemicals, glyphosate, etc. that are in our super-processed food here that's the cause. It's not because we eat too much or that we're lazy.

Convenience is a huge factor in the American diet. I volunteered at a community garden where everything was grown organically and very few neighboring low income families would be interested in all the free garden goodies. So people are choosing convenience over health. I understand time is limited but it is very possible to prepare food ahead. There’s a lot of YouTube channels devoted to preparing meals ahead, even for the freezer.

I blame psycological warfare.on the American people by our gov. Food is a vice. We are hurting. Repeatesly being gaslit by false information from media and gov. Everyone is trying to escape the pain. Alcoholism, smoking and eating.

Sleeping through the night: You need a spring mattress (never foam rubber), 100% cotton sheets, blankets and pj's (loose fitting), cool head and warm feet.

When I was a kid I would want cereal for the toys inside. The flavor was secondary.

I'm 60. Everyone I know 60+ is in pain. Probably after years of aerobics, dancing, weight lifting, playing sports, etc. I've never seen so many knees replaced! For me, it's joints in my feet after os dancing and all of the above that I mentioned. I would LOVE to walk more.

The change in the food supply from 1980 to 1995 and 1995 to 2010 are two generations of inflation being masked. Food was actually held relatively cheaper than it should have been in proportion to our government and banking system's debasement of the currency. All of the big agricultural "advancements" have allowed production to scale much quicker. The primary method of making abundant supply has been shelf stable product, which inherently has its nutrients killed, removed, or chemically modified.
Since they have taken those methods as far as they can go, we are now seeing painful price increases on food more directly. People are blaming restaurants and grocers instead of bankers and governors.
True inflation can be measured by comparing real food to real food. Before 1980, real food was just called food. That same food is now called organic, grass fed, prarie raised, non-GMO, glyphosate free, locally sourced, etc. and it costs a magnitude higher than what is called "beef" or "milk" or "bread". But that super premium pricing is really just the actual inflation that has occurred since all food was just food.

Very important topics, very good video, appropriate length. Explore more. Thanks.

I remember from the 60s and early 70s that chips, soda, ice cream, and candy were considered party food. No one ate these things during the week. If you look at all the recipe books from that era, they all have you making everything from scratch. That’s how I learned to cook. Nowadays, most of the recipes are having you assemble together a bunch of premade food to create a new recipe. The amount of sugar and cheese, added to almost every single recipe that I see now is absurd.

I wish I could plop you into 1968. You'd be shocked as to how much of the food we ate back is still here in the grocery store. Some things that has changed is Veges in cans. Coffee is more than percolator, milk and sugar. Vitamins and supplements were unheard of. Oh, and the pesticides on fresh goods - called deadlier . But we still survived . Most homes baked quick breads, cakes, and cookies - not yeast breads. No chips, but we had ice cream, ice milk, and pop corn oh candy bars were a dime, or less . We ate plenty of hot dogs with all the preserves, and plenty of bologne. But we also had plenty of overweight people . Back then most of the thin people were the junk food eaters.

Bravo on being accurate on manufacturing being outsourced to robotics. It used to take 5, 000 workers to run a shift at an auto factory. Now it’s 500.

I'm a mentally disabled single mom to a teen son. My SSI pay $943 per month, my snap pays $360 ish, no child support, on housing and rely on the bus and walking for transportation. I live in a crappy area and am petite. That's why I'm armed. The nearest heb is about a 40 minute walk along the i35 feeder. I walk there to pick up meds or to do curbside grocery pickup and catch the bus home.

I just hit a food pantry at a church next door to my apt complex this morning. They gave some ground turkey and chicken legs today along with loads of canned stuff like beans, fruit, tomato sauce, applesauce, etc. they gave a lot of kale surprisingly. They gave a lot of rice and beans too. Well the rice and beans I'm gonna ferment before I actually use them so I can eat them. Lately I've been making low gluten sourdough by turning those into flour since yeast bread and regular rice seem to trigger my eczema and unfermented beans trigger my ibsd. The kale I'm gonna turn into kimchi or sauerkraut so I can eat that too. I do buy some processed stuff. They did give out some Velveeta knock off cheese, but I've checked the ingredients and it's seed oil and crap free so I will use it sometime. Its shelf stable until then. My local heb has mostly processed junk. But they recently came out with a line of health foods including almond milk, hemp milk, coconut milk, and low carb bread to make a few. And while affording beef even ground beef can be dicey for me they definitely have things like beef heart or beef kidney which are affordable and also if seasoned and cooked right come out tasting and texturally like a really nice juicy but really lean steak. Healthy eating can be done with food pantry staples and with cheaper options at the store. Canned green beans are always a good option as are several other canned veggies. Frozen veggies are cheap as are eggs. There is no excuse to go for the pop tarts and box Mac n cheese. Sorry, not sorry. And I sometimes do eat a hot dog with my son either without the bun or with a low carb bun, and while he dies ketchup on his I tend to opt for a really ckean mayo or some cheese abd some fermented food like kimchi, sauerkraut, or even fermented bean sprouts. He gets dry roasted salted peanuts with maybe some clean fruit snacks, dried or fresh fruit. I do things like air fried or baked veggies fries and maybe some fresh fruit as well. That and extra protein of some kind. Eating with kids and eating healthy with them isn't that hard either

The things you cannot control, age of retirement, marketing to children, socioeconomic status. You can control your response to cultural norms, and how much walking you do.

In my 30s I still get ID checked in liquor store. One reason is that people simply take out of shape as a norm of aging.

Eating healthy isn't expensive if you overferment cheap carbs and mix it with weeds from your garden. It's basically how Sardinians eat, just buy a bit of meat.

The fact is it is OUR responsibility to say NO to our children.
Come on already

Yeah, convenience/processed foods are a problem for those who are the working poor, but they also don't have much time or access to quality healthcare, supplements, certain types of exercise, some forms of self-care/stress reduction, and other such health tools that those with money do. Not to mention their stress levels. It's really hard to prioritize what's important when you simply don't have the money! ❤

You don't really have to take your kids grocery shopping anymore you can put everything in a digital shopping cart and just pick it up you'll be gone for 5 to 15 minutes
