What are you expecting, duck confit and beef wellington?
Eating well in this case means being satisfied and healthy. A peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread is surprisingly healthy (although I personally loathe whole wheat). It's not classy but it's a highly cost-efficient source of calories.
Also, it turns out that even if you are willing to lower yourself to peanut butter sandwiches, getting 2500 calories of nutritionally well-rounded and healthy food for $5 a day takes quite a bit of planning (if not cooking). If you "imagine it is easy", it's only because you have not given a fig's worth of actual thought to the process.

I'm expecting an article about "eating well" to be about eating well, not just merely subsisting. > Eating well in this case means being satisfied and healthy. A peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread is surprisingly healthy (although I personally loathe whole wheat). It's not classy but it's a highly cost-efficient source of calories. I don't know about you, but I would absolutely not be satisfied with a diet made up mainly of things like peanut butter sandwich. Like I said, I've eaten on that level, and I didn't feel very satisfied with it.
- wernercd 12y agoEating well is going to differ, but you have to have a little bit of common sense. How 'well' do you expect to eat for $35 a week? How much further beyond PB&J do you expect to go? How much further CAN you go? It's also going to be relative... What's the best you can do for $35? It sure as ___ won't be steak (unless you go hungry the rest of the week)...
