This has got to be the biggest cope of poorfags ever. As a former poorfag, I ate relatively healthily for cheaper than slop by cooking my own shit. Rice, beans, potatoes, carrots, and discounted meats were the norm. Cheap and way healthier than McSlop

Elite rich don't obsess over diet purity. That's a middle to upper middle class striver thing.

>> No.18672211

As someone who supposedly grew up "rich" (I didn't, but I guess to bottom-of-the-barrel poors, middle class looks like extreme wealth), my mother or nanny/housekeeper cooked what I would consider regular, everyday food. Roasts (lamb, pork, chicken, pharaoh, goat/ibex etc but rarely beef since none of us really like roast beef much), soups/stews (beef stew with red wine and laurels, beef stew with tomatoes, potatoes and peas, bouillabaisse/frutti di mare, chicken soup with lovage and marjoram, curries etc), pasta dishes, risotto (my favourites are summer truffle, saffron, tomato and others, including plain ol' peas), vegetable dishes (ratatouille, various parmigiane such as courgette or aubergine, asparagus souffle, capcay sayuran etc) and so on. Just a normal varied diet.
Now, I went to school with some legit rich kids. Y'know... with billionaire parents and shit. Many literally ate fucking tendies and pizza rolls all day. Only a few with those white guilt mothers ate what I would call actual food, but it was mostly in the most unappetising manners.

>> No.18672219

>>18672204
Y'know what. Yes. You're absolutely right. The rich kids I knew mostly ate garbage. Only the Coptic kids, who were mostly in the same middle class demo I was in, ate what I would say were decent diets. And even those kids went to Taco Bell all the damn time (only fast food place with cheap, guaranteed vegan options since Copts aren't allowed meat or dairy most days).

Most people talking about these things on the internet are young. Young people have less experience, less skills, so they generally have lower incomes.

I'm willing to bet most people here have less than $10k in savings, so yes you are rich in relative terms. Owning you house outright is something most people won't achieve until retirement age, if at all. It also means you can build you savings much quicker than most people.

Do you think atmospheric Hg doesn't settle on the crops of rich people every bit as much as anywhere else? Risk of arsenic exposure, at least from groundwater, is overwhelmingly a problem in Asia and undeveloped countries, not common in the United States. To the extent arsenic exposure occurs in US agriculture nowadays, it's usually remnants from earlier farming practices. Unfortunate, but it's simply not cost effective to remove it from the soil. And again, same fields growing crops for rich people and poor.

I was talking to a neighbour the other day about how she spends $4 every morning on her coffee yet complains about not having money yet here I am, making my own coffee and spending a fraction of a single dollar for it. You shoulda seen her eyes widen when I explained to her that she's spending $1000 per year doing that shit (after denying that this was an accurate amount; I had to fucking punch in the numbers on my phone calculator with her watching to prove it/get the point across).
Growing up, my family seldom to never went out to eat and after finishing grad school, they bought me my $130k house. Maybe others would be able to do the same if they weren't buying $4 coffees every goddamn morning.

And then I see some faggot bragging on a message board about mommy and daddy paying for his house and acting like it's just common sense and everyone should be able to do that. Fuck off.

The working class eats a high fat diet from fast food, on average 70-80g fat a day. From McDonald's or another fats food place.

A healthy diet is also the cheapest with potatoes, vegetables, soups and bread. All healthy and long living societies eat natural and carb heavy diets. See Japan, has had life expectancy above 90 for over 100 years and they always eat rice as their main portion everyday. This is the truth, this causes seethe.

*some. Nutrition is FULL of contradictions. It's borderline pointless to try to figure it out, or we're measuring the wrong things. Med diets have lots of seed (olives) fats for example. It's insane how diverse of diets healthy people the world over have eaten.
