Hi. In today's episode, we look at America's food system, why corn is in nearly everything we eat, how factory farms are bad for consumers and the environmen...

It’s such a weird thing to read over and over. But McDonald’s is so much cheaper than eating healthy. Motherfucker, my favourite food right now is a vegan noodle salad. While it varies in ingredients, a whole bowl with like 500g of noodles cost like 10bucks where i live, and that is when i’m too lazy to make my own sauce. When i don’t wanna do groceries, i always have rice and beans, tomatoes and canned tomatoes and noodles at home. I never keep track on what that even costs, but it’s probably like 3dollars a serving. If these assholes sell you sugar bread, mix 3 to 5 ingredients and make bread.
You can make it even cheaper by securing yourself a parcel of unclaimed land, stealing some animals, building a small shack, and then growing all the vegetables yourself!
A cheeseburger from McDonald’s is $2 × 3 = $6. You can buy a large fries for $3 and split it. Steal handfuls of ketchup and salt. $9 to feed your family of three. You can even buy a large soda and split it, ya bourgeoisie fuck, and it took you no energy or time to cook it, instead of the 1+ hour it took to make yours.
You need a pan, an oven, and 5 qt pot, a knife, spatula and you can basically make whatever you want. There are very very few Americans without the means to do so. https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=53439. 99.5% of households have a refrigerator. According to HUD there is a homeless population of about 500k. Even if you allow for generous rounding and assume I missing some populations right there… The majority of people have every ability to make a good meal at home for cheap.

No it’s not. Not in the majority of America. Who do people make this nonsense up?
A double quarter pounder with cheese meal is $11 after tax. $33 to feed my family.
I can feed my entire family on slightly more than than a single burger.
1.5 lbs/ beef $6.50
28oz bag frozen fries $3
Let’s say a dollar for condiments and pantry items. $1
Martin’s rolls: $2
2l of coke $1
$13.50 to feed 3 people.
I can get chicken thighs for$2.50/lbs and make pulled chicken considerably cheaper.

Are you saying you can’t use less beef when cooking at home? Or share the 2L of soda? You just used less food.
You can cook 4 burgers + fries for the family in 20 minutes. Many times quicker than driving and waiting in line at peak times. This guy does it all the time https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-tYKWQOe4YMbM7A7LELOsbQX945xEL_Q (sometimes wins sometimes loses).

1 in 6 people are effectively homeless, lol, now let me use my refridgerator to cook.
That’s just not true in the US.
