Straight up I was conservative as a young teen, because that's what EVERYONE was here in Utah when I was in the LDS church.

Now I just keep floating more and more left as time goes on.

Haha makes sense! I forgot I posted it, but as an experiment I actually did this just to see how hard it is.

But I mean the main things you need are calories, vitamins, and complete proteins. Flour is the cheapest calorie you can get in the US, so cooking your own biscuits, tortillas, sour dough, and gravy will always be the most calories for your buck.

Soy is a complete protein by itself, but rice and beans together are as well. Rice and beans is also a king of calories per price, so there is a reason I put it on there, and a reason you are alive it sounds like it!

The last thing is vitamins from veggies/fruit. In my post I used small amounts of dried fruit in oatmeal, peas in gravy, then tomato sauce. So getting a mix cheap frozen/canned/dried fruit then having a bit of that each day will help. As will making gravies/sauces with different veggies/stir fries.

I was able to do it under $2, and I might try it again with all different meals to try and make sure I can practice what I preach. I make one off cheap meals a lot, but don't always do a full day.

Hey if you have a legal place to hunt, go wild!

Buying anything but the cheapest of meats these days is eye watering. I'm not one for hunting, but I keep debating going foraging since I live near mountains in Utah. Spend the day hiking in nice weather and end the day with food you normally wouldn't have? Sounds like a good day.

Hey man if you have a legal place to hunt, go wild!

Buying anything but the cheapest of meats these days is eye watering.

My man I don't think you belong the the MARXIST LENNIST instance if you're this aggro at someone saying something as generic as "Billionaires exploited people to get their billions"

If the option is you all not eating enough, and eating primarily cheap bulk foods, do pick the cheap bulk foods. With cheap seasonings and making your own tortillas, breads, and gravies, you can have a large variety using the same 20ish cheap base ingredients.

So when you want cheap protein, what is affordable in denmark? Cheeses? Lentils? Yogurt? Sounds like it's a lot more where you live, so curious what is the good choice there.

Ahh interesting! In Denmark what is the cheap protein replacement? In the US it's mostly all dried beans.

This is ML memes. If you came in here expecting us not to be over the top about "seize the means of production" and "eat the rich" then you gotta pay more attention.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm far enough to the left to participate in ML.

Capitalism demands you eat legumes or go into debt.

The rebellion demands you stay alive how you need to and organize, which in the US means eating cheap proteins as you gotta.

You're not wrong! But I felt like some people wouldn't think of split peas, and wanted to call out more than just "beans"

By all means, show me some billionaires that never took advantage of anyone to get their billions and actually earned it. I'm down to change my view.
