Is that so?
Yeah, could be. Plain white rice is a very cheap calorie sufficient diet. It's certainly cheaper than a healthy, nutritious diet.
- hombre_fatal 3y ago1000 calories of white rice and 1000 calories of soybeans (or any legume) give you 90% of the day’s nutrients which is what I mostly ate for portions of uni. Pretty solid and healthy base diet to work with and it’s super cheap.
