Ben reunited with his parents:

[edcoil]

Have to be a non-smoker

[posterchild]

I’m guessing they won’t be paying ‘fair trade’ prices for any of their consumables.

[a fool in paradise]

$1.50 a day in Mexico, India, Czech Republic, or NYC?

There is a difference elsewhere what a dollar will buy you.

[Lexington Green]

His gruel will be served to him by servants.

[AtlasStalled]

What a stunt . . .

[AppyPappy]

It’s going to be a high carb diet.

[Christian1]

I would do the same...Knowing I have millions in the bank and it is only for a publicity stunt. With luck this lark will bring me more millions.My new venture would have been well publicised and sponsored. What a Prat.

Day 1: blow entire week's budget on a single coffee at Starbucks.

Day 2-5: Free range long pork.

More seriously, how much of the $1.50/day amount is from a large number of people living on subsistence agriculture where they grow enough to feed their families but have little left for trading (or boosting the GDP). Thus Affleck should be working in the field from dawn to dusk to get his handful of rice.

[OKRA2012]

Does the buck fifty a day include rent?

[dennisw]

Ben Affleck is one of the better HollyWeird liberals. He lives a decent upstanding family life. He lives conservative and votes Obama/liberal

Are they so stupid and self-centered that they think this type of nonsense provides GOOD publicity for their causes? Anyone with half a brain knows that Affleck will simply do nothing for a day and then go back to his Hollywood lifestyle. It simply highlights that these stars have lavish lifestyles and what hypocrites they are for assuming they can be noble champions of the poor by slumming it for a day.

I remember back in the 80s, when I was in school in Washington DC, that Martin Sheen spent one winter night sleeping in a Washington Metro station to highlight the plight of the homeless. He had an expensive parka and cold weather sleeping bag. I am sure he wasn't remotely cold the entire night. Some of my friends and I stood around for a while yelling "hypocrite" and making other comments but he didn't notice us.

[longfellow]

“F— the haters!”......sounds like she hates them.

[N. Theknow]

Hey Ben!

You and DJoker Scumbaraev went to the same high school.

Happy Reunion!

[GraceG]

And everyone’s favorite millionare Warren Buffett lives on minimal wage which is doable if you already have everything you use all paid off...

[Opinionated Blowhard]

The irony is that any money that he doesn’t spend during these five days will still be spent by him in the future on his lavish, Hollywood lifestyle.

[BuffaloJack]

At $1.50 per day you have to be a good shot and can’t waste any ammo on stuff that won’t taste good.

[Texas Songwriter]

Are not celebrities GIVEN almost everything for nothing. $38,000 gift boxes at the parties after the Oscars. He could eat for a month on his expending $1.50.

[b4its2late]

Good! No soup for you (Ben)!
