>Poorer people aren't viewing fast food as a luxury item. It's legit cheaper than getting all the ingredients to make a meal and it'll probably feed more people.

I eat instant oats and fruit every morning with some cinnamon and nutmeg for flavoring. The whole thing costs like <$1 for a meal lol, but the fat poorcel MUST have their Big Mac.

>“People don’t choose this,” she said. “They don’t wake up and say, ‘I’ll be unhealthy and fat today’

lol yes they do

>The worst part about it is all the guides that have come out of America in recent years for 'eating healthy while poor' go "here's how to eat on a budget, all you need to get are these simple ingredients..." and then doesn't mention the oil, the spices, the various pots and pans... You know... The stuff you actually need to be able to cook and cost money.

I bought my stainless steel pan I use to cook smaller things for $4 from Kmart in 2007, I still use it today. Poorcels are too busy buying new shitty shoes or w/e lol.

>Not everyone has access to a fridge or a freezer, either.

one of my fave /r/australia lolcows, the boss likes to sneed about aboriginals

>Yep. Breakfast is cereal. Lunch is toast or two min noodles. Dinner is a can of soup. Once a month I cook up a lentil stew and chicken curry and freeze that in portions to have instead of the soup. No more coffees or dinners out. I’ve lost 4 kilos since I ceased receiving FTB when my youngest moved out.

turns out all we need to do is cut the dole and the poorcels will finally drop the pounds

People acting like a pot and a pan is some sort of heavy investment when cooking would save you enough over a year to buy a full professional set of utensils.

Cereal is terrible for breakfast. Not filling, super processed, expensive for what you get

Cooking a decent meal for yourself takes very little investment. You can buy like a month worth of oats for the price of one fast food breakfast meal.

The system is working as intended: it imposes costs on them for having high time preference and choosing comorbidity food over cooking.

Australian Redditors are apparently all terminally unemployed and on Centrelink (welfare) but also apparently don't have time to go to the supermarket and buy cheap healthy meals

I had a fastfood spell a few years back, burger king & McD like 3 times a week, almost always the same order. Double stakehouse, loaded bacon fries, 9 nuggets and a large coke. And at the clown 3 double cheeseburgers, 9 nuggets and a large sprite. Both totalled at around 20€ the king is the more expensive of the 2. That's 60€ a week for only 3 meals. I gained close to 12kgs in under 4 months... Now even with my gym supplements I think 60€ can last me a month for all my food, breakfast lunch and dinner. It's insane how sombody in their right mind typed up that post.

It's fat people making excuses and teenagers who don't have to support themselves parroting back what fat poor people and the politicians who simp for them say

I actually spend most of my money on food, but i cook almost every single meal and do so with quality ingredients. I dont work out much but I'm not fat either because i only do two meals a day (just a coffee and nicotine for breakfast, big lunch and dinner) and space apart those meals based on when i get in to work. Late shift? Early lunch and dinner. Day off? 12pm and 8pm meals.

I thought Australia was quite nice out, this time of year. I grew up in a smog-covered, crowded hive: Still didn't get fat.

Lmao no way does it pencil out for fast food to be cheaper. It doesn’t even work in the US anymore because McDoubles are like $3 when they were a $1 a decade ago and I guarantee our fast food is still cheaper than Australia’s.

Make a sandwich and eat an apple you fat fricks. The only options aren’t eating Taco Bell or cooking a 5 course meal.

Its insane how cheap you can cook your own stuff if you focus on ground pork/beef and chicken breast for protein. Reality is that even if you eat unhealthily and go mcdonalds for all meals it doesnt matter if you just walk off the calories once you're done. The floor is free go do some pushups ffs
