[QUOTE=AugustBurnsRed;36615183]Those numbers are probably obtained by buying bulk ingredients monthly and dividing the total cost by 30 (or probably 31 cause that lowers it further) I'd believe it though.[/QUOTE] I can make a ton of meals off some really basic ingredients if I just buy enough for two-three weeks worth at once. Eating healthy can be expensive though, depending where you live. I'm in Georgia for the summer, and everything that can be grown on a tree or in the ground is typically at least a dollar cheaper or more than what I'd pay up north.

It's the reason I don't buy salad. Lettuce goes bad very fast, to the point where I'd need to have salad every day in order to prevent your average head of lettuce or bag of salad mix from going bad before you are finished with it, thus wasting money and food. Bulk only works for things that are preserved enough to last a full month or two if you are living on your own. Generally such items are unhealthy, because most things pumped full of preservatives aren't exactly on the healthy side of things. And even then, you'll have an awful lack of variety in your diet as you'll need to basically eat the same things every single day to work through your bulk.

Wait a moment... 30%? So I could eat this pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and still end up with 10 percent less of my daily intake? :dance:

i have a pop and mom pizza place at my hometown, their pizzas have the most delicious bread you could ever think of
I don't need this, pizzas are already vegetables.
It's Scotland. They made it nutritional by not deep frying it.

[QUOTE=dunkace;36611661]Finally our country is trying to get out of 2nd place most obese country in the world![/QUOTE] Sorry buddy but there's a restaurant in Edinburgh that sells deep fried butter, so we're fucked.

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;36621966]None of you have yet to produce this magic cheap healthy diet. Also I love the way you twist it as "less cheap" instead of "more expensive".[/QUOTE] It's called buying fruit and vegetables and making your own food, it's cheap as hell here in the UK.
[QUOTE=Mr. Smartass;36614544]You can live off 5 dollars a day, eating three full extremely healthy meals if you buy the right food.[/QUOTE] I hope that meal isn't made of nearly tasteless leaves... My granma can make some rather tasty soup dishes, and it probably costs something like 2€ or so, if not less.
[QUOTE=Pierrewithahat;36621950]Sorry buddy but there's a restaurant in Edinburgh that sells deep fried butter, so we're fucked.[/QUOTE] Then there is no hope, i think the local chippy here even does deep fried mars bars still...
[QUOTE=Apache249;36608272]No, it's because they try to make the pizzas taste good. That's pretty much the priority, which causes unhealthiness as a side effect. Also, healthy does not equal expensive, contrary to what you seem to believe.[/QUOTE] No ffs, there is nothing wrong with ordinary pizza. People get fat because they eat too fucking much. Please tell me how its domino's fault you eat two large pizzas, garlic bread, coke and fucking desert shit
