2 teachers gave themselves the toughest of restrictions: All their food had to cost no more than $1 per day per person.

And this is also easy when it`s just you. If you have a family this would be almost impossible.
"Right now I would love to have some Peanut Butter Bomb Vegan Cheesecake from Gianna`s in Philadelphia, but that be an unnecessary and costly batch of calories"
F*** rice and that crap! They would`nt even get that junk because I`d be full and asleep like a bug in a rug (hair) in the corner, full from what I ate while they cried for their mamas who probably already died in the famine or what ever.

That`s pretty much the thinking that causes the problems they were discussing, if you think about it.
If you broke down those nachos and made them from scratch, like everything they are making in the experiment, they probably cost 20 cents to make. That means you would rather spend nearly 4 times as much as you need to just because you don`t want to deal with icky stuff like actually making food or eating rice and beans.
That`s sad.
I DON`T BELIEVE THEM!!!
our stomach cant digest grass...
but still id rather enjoy my pizza pops.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner, without getting scurvy?
The Ramen Noodles at my grocery store is 400 calories per pack, with over a gram of sodium and around 20 grams of fat. Not so healthy there.
I actually lived on one meal a day Ramen noodles when my Dad got an hour cut at work. He worked like 28 hours a week and there`s 6 people in my family.
I lost plenty of weight, I used to be a chubby mutha before then.
YA HEAR THAT FAT PEOPLE?! EAT SOME FREAKING RAMEN.
RAMAN MOTHER F*CKING NOODLES
BAM! I just blew your f*cking mind and kept you fed that`s 10 meals for a dollar
And Lolcats
Not saving money in the first place is what got us into this economic fiasco, But I guess its different when mommy makes the food magically appear.
See in my house no one cooks, and I`m not allowed to play with those oveny thingys.
So for Food/Gas/Bowling (I bowl around 15 games a week....its training so I consider it an investment), I get 20 bucks a day. And often that isn`t enough....now food for under a buck? Any value meal would be 5 days worth of food
It`s a really great idea. In many places of the world, it`s very expensive to buy food. You just have to be smart about it, which these two were.
I had never imagined eating or only a dollar a day would be so... Simple...
