it is super common in pretty much any food item you get powdered. also, you probably get some when you eat anything grown in the ground.

And it's a leading cause of cancer. Bonus.

Once again, watch Food Inc. Families with 2 or 3 kids can't afford fresh vegetables and produce from the grocery store, nor do they have the time to make dinner. So they pull into the drive through.

The fast food places use additives and fillers to make the food taste the way the masses like and get them addicted. They use fancy pictures with slogans saying it's real beef. Right.

Let's look at soda with HFCS. They added more and more to get people addicted until the majority said enough. Now you see Mountain Dew and Pepsi Throwback. The soda makers don't care if HFCS is bad, or if it's addictive, they want people hooked like a drug so they can make money.

HFCS is not addicting.

it's what makes cigarettes addictive you dummy

never question NGFM

Chicken Quesedilla with a hard taco and a Mountain-Dew =

can we seriously get a mother****ing link to what "story" fool is talking about

been away from the internet

I think I just got e-slapped.. and it hurt.

You're absolutely ****ing retarded if you honestly believe that going out to eat at a fast food place every night is cheaper than cooking for your family.

I'll have to search for the documentaries. They talk about it a little in Food Inc. They show a family going to the grocery store, and they can't afford produce. They interview them and the mom is saying it's too expensive. They show them buying a few items in the grocery store, then going through the drive through of McDonalds buying burgers, fries, and drinks from the dollar menu.

A bag of salad is $3.50, tomatoes are $3 a pound, and this is a family we're talking about, not a single person, so they'd need a couple tomatoes. Yes, they could buy a head of lettuce, but then they'd need carrots and all the other stuff that comes in the bags. Fries from the frozen section is $4 and would only last 2 days.

Then they have to go home, make it, and clean up the mess. For those who want a good link to watch the entire documentary, it's here.

Didn't you raise a child?

Do you not know that carrots don't naturally come in bags?

For ****'s sake, man.

if you stick to the aisles, grocery store is significantly cheaper than fast food

and don't give me this "but the healthy food isn't in the aisles" bull****, because we're lookin at fast food, which isn't comparable to produce and fresh meat

the perimeter is a different story, in large part due to how expensive produce is, however, a family probably spends $20 at a fast food joint and could easily have several meals' worth of food bought from the store for the same price

I had Taco Bell last night. It was yummy.

The Taco Bell near me is open for breakfast. I usually get the big beef breakfast burrito. It's beef, nacho cheese, scrambled eggs, re-fried beans, and salsa. So good. A couple of those and a large mountain dew and I'm ready for the day.

It was in Food Inc., Part 3 in the middle. I knew it was there.

The family goes to burger king and buys burgers and 3 drinks for $11.48. Then they go shopping and can't buy produce, nor do they have time to cook. They work from early in the morning to night. Watch the video.

I have a friend who would do the same crap. He'd tell me he was going to the fast food place. I'd say why? He didn't have time to make anything, he didn't even want to go into the grocery store. He'd say this is cheap, fast, and I'm done.

omgomgomgomg

you can definitely eat dirt cheap if you eat off the dollar menu and **** but I mean, realistically, how much do you think a meal for one person should cost per serving? Let me just do some quick math on the food I'm going to eat during the week this week:

1 lb ground turkey $3
2 cans tomatoes $2
2 cans beans $1
various amounts chili seasoning $1
1 onion $.50
2 bags spinach $5
1 lb asparagus $2
1 head cauliflower $3
1 lb brown rice $1

So about $18. This is cooked Sunday and will last my girlfriend and I Monday thru Thursday with a little left over. It's about 9 servings so $2 a serving and has 1 entree eaten several times, with a spinach salad and a side of vegetables each night. Its a lot more filling than 2 dollar menu items.

If you're that ****ing poor and don't care about eating ****ty

go to store

buy 2 boxes of generic pasta
buy 2 jars of pasta sauce

boom, family fed for 5 bucks in a total of 20 minutes

If people want fast food because that's what they WANT because it's easier for them, that's fine.

Don't ****ing say they HAVE to do it, because that makes you sound like a moron.
