No meat, fish or poultry makes the diet very difficult to meet complete protein needs.
anything for gas ?
This is something our grandparents knew and lived on.
No junk food of “Happy Meals”!
The professors hated her but she proved right. She also did a semester arguing that family court custody rulings are also counterproductive in the welfare of children. They instead reward the state bureaucrats with authority and wealth in their rulings, not the children.
Good post yours. I tried that question on Bing. Here’s the answer I got:
“Bill Gates says to eat bugs.”
(Just kidding. Maybe.)
ChatGPT: “Get you and some friends to do a smash and grab at Walmart”
that meal plan sucks
Some of my favorite meals are recipes grandma taught me.
e.g., escarole & beans with ditalini.
Save the water from blanching the escarole to use to boil the pasta (absorbs the vitamins back in).
No need to mention you have to use the good parmesan and italian bread (none of that “meddigan” stuff) to complete the meal.
I have two words for ChatGTP: heme iron.
so ChatGPT is vegan ?
I have split-peas in the crockpot right now. Going to grill some hamsteak when the peas are done.
Also, bologna and hot dogs are perfectly fine sources of protein. My doctor said so.
IMO eggs should be at the top of the list for cheap and nutritious.
Maybe a diet of eggs, potatoes, a leafy green, peanut butter, and yogurt.
Quite a menu for your entire life, 80 years of a diet you would tire of even if you were on a life sentence in a Soviet Gulag.
Mix some thinly sliced or finely chopped raw red cabbage to beans when you serve them. The cabbage adds great texture and flavor to the beans.
My Estimates:
Cheapest of you want junk food: Rice, about $1.00 for 2000 calories (pretty much one day’s worth).
Cheapest of you want healthy food: Beef (including its fat), Cheese, Butter for about $5.00 for 2000 calories.
The junk food is still better than nothing if things go sideways with the warmongers, while the healthy food is far better, long-term.
Intermittent Fasting is a real good and healthy way to save money on food.
The first thing I noticed was no meat.
There should have at least been eggs with breakfast to help regulate blood sugar. Oatmeal alone with fruit WILL NOT take you through the morning. I know. With my food sensitivities, I eat a LOT of oatmeal, and have done that and you get about 2 hours before wanting to eat the wallpaper off the walls.
As a BASIC diet, it probably isn’t a bad foundation, but it certainly falls short in a lot of areas.
People need to learn to garden and grow their own food again to help with food costs.
It’s hard to beat the value of a $5 rotisary chicken made into a soup and eaten over several days.
I like to use pinto beans and black eye peas.
You can go spicy or sweet and change over the days from a soup to a burrito or taco filling.
A cheap steak can work in the same fashion.
Peppers celery a can of olives, mushrooms carrots.
Get some tortillas.
I like the Goya spices too.
Where cheeseburger? :-)
