This is such BS. Any supermarket sells whole rotisserie chickens for like $5, bag of frozen veggies, rice or potatoes and your are good to go. People just like to eat crap.
There is a “pollo rostizado” shop near my house that sells 2 rotisserie chickens, a large pan with roasted onions, peppers, and potatoes, beans, rice and tortillas for under $20. They do the same with pork and steak cuts.[/quote]
Try doing that with thousands of franchises, spanning dozens of countries while keeping product nearly consistent everywhere.
I’m guessing a big reason their products are designed the way they are is to be capable of being industrially produced and replicated.[/quote]
That’s exactly right. Like I said, not my favorite, and there’s way better ways to eat, but feeding the world cheap and fast on an industrial scale isn’t an easy task.

1000x agree. As a business they are rocking it.
I read to fast and for some reason thought it was one of those poor people can not afford to eat healthy/good food because it is to expensive.
are any of you fatties done jerking each other off? the food is shit. poor quality. if your fat, on a “bulk”, or don’t have low body fat, your opinion means shit on the matter.
cheat meals are great but the food there is literally worse than not eating. Even on a bulk that would be considered a once a week cheat meal. You would get better quality protein from eating bugs and you dont need to cook those either.

Yeah, all you FATTIES make me sick with your use of this “food” for anything other than landfill.
Hey bpbob, I notice there aren’t any pics of you in your profile. I assume, given the above statement, that your body fat is low enough for you to have an opinion on the matter. May we see? I think we can all agree that one of the great things about communities like TN is the inspiration we can get from one another.

Yeah but you expend so much energy just finding and catching the bugs that unless you really eat a LOT of bugs, there’s no way you’ll hit your daily caloric intake numbers if you’re trying to gain. If you’re cutting, on the other hand, bugs are your friend.
In Thailand I ate a lot of bugs. Crickets, tarantulas, and my favourite, bamboo worms. Yes, I did eat a few raw, just to say I did, but they are best when either boiled with salt or ramen seasoning, or else sauteed in coconut oil. Better than french fries (which kind of they taste like), and almost pure protein.
The photo above is me eating a meal of rice, wild eggplants, and bamboo worms. As you can see, after weeks of this kind of diet, plus humping a ruck through the Thai jungle, I became kind of a skinny bastard. But I’d still take bamboo worms over Big Macs any day of the fucking year.

ATG squats, High protein peri-workout nutrition…what’s not to like in this photo.
Actually its the toe shoes. I don’t like the toe shoes.
Well, I think McD’s (or was it starbucks?) uses ground beetles for red food coloring in their shakes… not as much protein, though.
Burgatory is good, but overrated / overpriced. When I get a non fast food burger, it should be better than I can make. Though, the one in Aspinwall has movie theater behind it w/ free popcorn some days.

Fair enough.
Here is a picture of a hot 18-year-old Latina-Italian chick devouring a 4x4 (four patties, four slices of cheese) Animal Style burger at In-N-Out, the ONLY hamburger joint I consider worthy of my time and money.

That looks pretty good! The meal posted upthread, less so.

It is possible to have good food very cheaply. My parents both grew up poor so they knew how to get by. They used to use a lot of the cheaper cuts of meat that are best for stewing. When slow cooked in a stew or casserole many of the cheapest cuts of meat taste best and when slow cooked for several hours the meat becomes very tender. For my parents steak was almost unheard of. Only rich people could afford steak. They often couldn’t afford meat and had vegetarian meals. So they’d both live mostly on lamb because it was cheaper than beef, pork and chicken. One thing my mother used to make very cheaply and is still very cheap to make is pea and ham soup. Pea and ham soup is extremely hardy and makes a full meal. My mother would buy a ham hock - just the feet. Very cheap. Couple of pigs feet and some cheap, dried peas, a bit of carrot and onion etc. The bones are cooked with the meat and they impart a lot of flavour. When it’s nearly done you break the meat off the hocks and shred it a bit then remove the bones and gristle.
So you can still live on very good and tasty food very cheaply if you know how. Many types of offal are very cheap and can be very tasty. You just need to know how to cook and which foods are cheapest. You can go to farmers’ markets and fresh produce stalls and buy fresh food cheaply when it’s at its best and in season and fresh. Some fruits in particular are very expensive but root vegetables, greens, legumes etc are all nutritious and relatively cheap. And of course, you need to shop smart and know the cheapest options and sales and so on. But eating well and very cheaply is an option.
