I've never posted any comments here before but I feel compelled to do so for this link. It is lamenting the fact that people who eat ramen frequently aren't buying fruits and vegetables instead. I've basically lived on ramen for the better part of a year and the truth is that if I could eat healthier I would without a moments hesitation. But a ramen packet costs 15¢ each. So I can be reasonably full for around 30¢ a day. What kind of fruit can I buy for 30¢? A single apple? One banana? The author of this article needs to get off his high horse and try to live off the diet he's saying is such a bad choice.
- briandoll 16y agoThe true cost of eating nothing but packaged "ramen", at 30¢ a day, is seriously the value of your own life. This crap will kill you. It is not food. Garbage in, garbage out. You may not feel it yet, but it is costing you your life. While I can't know what your financial situation is, you are posting to an internet forum, so it appears as though you're not working two double-shifts to survive until tomorrow. Quality food is an investment into your life. To put your budget in perspective, your suggesting to spend $110 per YEAR feeding yourself. Is that all your health is worth?
- techiferous 16y agoAgreed. The best health insurance policy is a good diet.
- techiferous 16y agoIn times of famine people ate bark and shoe leather. So these are appropriate dietary choices if there are no alternatives. Same with Ramen. Ramen is appropriate as a staple food only if there is no other alternative.
