How Food Affects Our Body

[25centsandwich]

Food environment is a huge concern in United States. No access to fresh fruit and vegetables meams fewer people will eat them. And if you do have access its expensive to eat healthy, so fast food it is.



Case in point, I see more weed dispensaries in Detroit than supermarkets and that shit ain't been legal that long.

No it is not. It is less e,pimsive to eat healthier for a week then it would be to eat fast food for a weak

It is cheaper to make your own food than to eat out.

$10 on 2- 14 pack of chicken drumsticks

$3 on a 3-lbs of black beans

$4 on 3-lbs of brown rice

$6 on tomato paste, sauce, oil for a stew

$8 on various spices and seasoning

$8 on frozen normandy blend mega bag (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, squash)

$40 total (approx)

The rice, beans, sauce and spices last at least a month. The chicken is gone in 4 weeks (freeze the unused ones). Essentially I have lunch for the month at $1.33 a meal. Grilled chicken, black beans and rice with steamed veggies and Nigerian tomato stew.

At my internship the people there do the DC food trucks every day. At least $8-12 dollars per meal downtown. Sure, eating out tastes way better, not gonna lie. But do the math.

$40 for lunch for a month vs $200 in lunch take out. Might not be much if your making good bread, but for those at the lower end of the income pole, every dollar counts. $160 over 6 months is almost $1,000. That's enough to upgrade your wardrobe or get yourself a very nice treat.

I usually bring lunch M-F then eat out once on Saturday and one on Sunday. Moderation man.

Do you really eat that everyday tho?

I think what people confuse cheap for convenience...

Honestly its just too easy to go to a fast food joint and pay 5 bucks for something you can eat in the car...

I honestly dont have time to heat the food up and sit down and eat for lunch...im lucky if i get time for a solid breakfast...

And this is not counting the prep time at home...

That said, the key to everything is moderation...

People who say they will NEVER drink soda but drink sugary almond milk everyday are ridiculous ...or people who swear off mcdonalds but drench salads and meat in sugar and fat laden sauces..

Sticky this. The things people are posting and the "knowledge" they are passing along in the pic thead is disgusting. Im talking to my BLACK people. Bc we are predisposed to a lot of shit and these pwople just dont give a fuck

You are more likely to die, amd die early, of diabetes or heart failure than by a cop or any type of gun violence, oh but aint nobody on the IC gon rally for that tho /rant

i can see it now

police guns down unarmed black kid and gets away with it

S2J: what about black people's eating habits though? you niggas wanna protest police brutality but refuse to put down fried chicken?

Yawn. I was well aware of the reach that would come as soon as i typed it. I didnt stutter. Get your fat ass outta McDonald's and cover ALL bases of improving quality of life

i agree. black people's eating habits are the death of us. and a large number of our people dont want to hear that eating healthy shit. its unfortunate. some have changed their eating habits but a lot more work needs to be done

but you undermined police brutality and gun violence in our community for healthy eating. they're not related to this topic. why bring them up? you have the tendency of coming off as a fuck nigga whether its your intent or not. and this shit right here?

"oh but aint nobody on the IC gon rally for that tho"

the very thread your're posting in and the conversations being had nullifies that remark. not to mention the getting healthy thread at the top of the page

I just pointed out how stupid you sound

You coulda did a solid 15 burpees while writin all that. Get your life together

 

[SolemnSauce]

I'll eat what I wanna eat till the day I die

Thinking like that, you won't have to wait too long

but you're in here tryna talk healthy living?

somethings not adding up

 

[the dukester]

I made a conscious decision a few years ago to completely overhaul my diet. In the past I've lived by the axiom, "don't drink, don't smoke, eat healthy, die anyway." As a way to justify my bad eating habits. But a nigga's energy levels was piss poor. So I decided to actually READ the food labels, an actually drink water.

I don't fuck with foods that have......

- High fructose corn syrup

- Hydrogenated oils

- Trans-fats

- Sodium Nitrate, of anything that's high in sodium

- Soda's

- Red meat & pork

- Candy bars

Took me baby steps to eventually eliminate all those things, but I realized that when you really put your mind to something, anything is achievable.

Going to fast food place sitting in drive thru eating in the car takes more time than warming something up in the microwave.

Also man not sure your daily obligations, but take time to Sit down n eat not always running on someone else schedule. U can make time believe that

You are on the same tip that I am on. Except you spend less than I do (I'm going to steal your grocery list) but I only eat out once a week (Saturday). I use to eat out on Friday but it'll drain my energy & make me sleepy then I'll have to push myself to go to the gym at midnight.

My coworker told me last week that him & his wife use to spend $300 every 2 weeks by eating out everyday. I bring my own breakfast & lunch from home while he buys pork breakfast sandwich from the break truck everyday morning. I be looking like "how y'all can eat that stuff?" Not only it's unhealthy eating habits but how you spending money on overpriced food that's unhealthy already? Sometimes my job will order fast food for everyone & my coworker will say "you better go get you some". Naw G, I'm good. You can keep that. I got my own food. Or they'll say "how does Sanford keep his body structure?" Duhhhhh, because we don't eat the same food. I am on a healthy diet

Lel calorie isn't a calorie meme.

That is fundamentally WRONG. All calories are equal that's a fact. You will lose or gain the same amount of weight by either eating at a surplus/restrictive diet with junk food or what could be considered "healthy"(Ie apples aren't that healthy they lack nutrients and has way to much sugar)

Just simply say that overall different food contain different nutrients level.

Overall it's usually at the very least accepted that you should be hitting 30g protien 30g fat 40g of carbs though for different people different things work. You can easily hit the protien limit with fast food but the same time the myth that eating healthy is expensive still plagues are society

. The CHEMICALS and REFINED SUGAR in fast and processed foods are eessentially whats wrong for our bodies. Aint no way im going back to that lefestyle.

Well i wouldnt use Wendy's as an example lol But thats true

Even in grocery shopping if u eatin whatever u want you can buy 100 tv dinners at like 2 bucks a pop.

On the flip you gotta buy a lot of shit to eat healthy, AND if you work out and lift and ain't just eatin like a little girly man u supposed to eat 5, 6, 7 meals and small meals/snacks a day. Shit aint cheap

MAN ITS HARD AS HELL TO EAT HEALTHY FOR LUNCH IF YOU DONT BRING YOUR LUNCH FROM HOME...
