I spent so much of my life trying to make rent that some part of me read the article backwards - looking for the densest meals for the buck. Burger Kings seems like a pretty good value in a pinch. If eating out triggered the obesity epidemic, then working long hours for poverty wages (or cost of living outpacing incomes) surely exacerbated things.
- mikeash 10y agoI find that restaurants listing calories on their menus can make it harder for me to watch what I eat for just this reason. I see a 600 calorie meal for $10 and a 1000 calorie meal for $10 and I feel like I'm getting a bad deal if I don't take the second one. Intellectually I know that I have no trouble affording it either way and regulating my intake is much more important for me, but it can be tough to overcome.
