Is Junk Food Really Cheaper?

The answer is NO.

The “fact” that junk food is cheaper than real food has become a reflexive part of how we explain why so many Americans are overweight, particularly those with lower incomes. I frequently read confident statements like, “when a bag of chips is cheaper than a head of broccoli …” or “it’s more affordable to feed a family of four at McDonald’s than to cook a healthy meal for them at home.”

(via sunfoundation)

alithea

this bullshit fills me with a very specific kind of rage. so, TIME TO DEBUNK!

that meal from mcdonalds takes virtually no time to acquire AND is available almost anywhere.

the second meal? that “salad” is lettuce … with nothing else, not even dressing unless its just olive oil or some milk i guess? gross.

also thats the price of each serving, not an entire loaf of bread, a bottle of olive oil, etc. that stuff adds up which means you have to have a lot of money at one time to buy it all.

that meal probably took an hour and a half to make, which is a long fucking time when you work multiple jobs or are caring for a lot of people or dont have help! seriously, if you are a single parent of three who works, is spending an hour and a half every night preparing a meal a likely option?

same with beans and rice! also, you know whats a fucking bummer? eating beans and rice every night because you are poor. ask any person who has done it and they will tell you (you can start with me).

there is a “nutrition” argument here that lacks a follow up: poor people are more likely to be doing physical labor and need more than 571 calories per meal.

you know who is less likely to know how to bake or prepare a chicken? people without access to the internet, or libraries, or who werent taught how to by their parents because their parents worked all the time. access to healthy foods is a classist issue and classism is cyclical, you fucking morons.

seriously, these sorts of infographics make me want to fucking flip tables. do you know why people don’t eat more fresh fruits and vegetables? because fresh fruits and vegetables are expensive, because they take a long time to prepare, because they dont live near a grocery store that has a decent produce section, because they dont have reliable transportation to get groceries to and from the grocery store, because they dont have the energy to plan all of the shit that is involved in making healthy, intentional, filling, balanced meals. basically: poor people get fucked, and then we get BLAMED for being lazy.

eating “healthy”, aka access to fresh fruits and vegetables, is a privilege, first, foremost, always. so fuck you new york times and your ignorant goddamn infographic.

there are SYSTEMATIC REASONS that we do not have equal access to fresh fruits and vegetables. they are very REAL problems. besides, you know, systematic poverty in america, the total mis-distribution of farm subsidies is a perfect place to start. read about that, then either get bent or start working on the actual problem.

In which fad dieters forget about the dollar menu

timidsketch

That’s exactly what I thought. Poor people aren’t even buying big macs with sides. They’re buying dollar menu items because they’re a dollar.

Also,

BMI isn’t scientific, weight is not an indicator of health, and neither weight nor health are indicators of worth.

So their entire “point” was BS from the beginning.

ebhenah

The price of food from a restaurant includes a valuation for the time taken to prepare it. Time has value. The time spent buying ingredients, preparing them, serving them AND CLEANING UP AFTERWARDS is factored into the cost of the McDonald’s meal but NOT the ‘home cooked meal’. Not only does the time-starved, cash-strapped, and overworked poor person not have to shop, clean, peel, slice, and cook the food, they also do not have to deal with cleaning up afterwards. No food scraps in their kitchen, no pots and pans to scrub, no leftovers to store, no dishes to do. Do not assume that people have clean water, consistent power for safe food storage, or working appliances just because they are able to buy some big macs and fries! Those are real issues faced by poor people in developed nations all the time. Doesn’t matter how cheap raw chicken is if you have no way to store it or cook it! Beyond that, not only is this kind of “just cook at home, it’s cheaper” mindset classist (as was pointed out) it is also inherently misogynistic and is strongly tied to the devaluation in our culture of work associated with women, especially that of mothers. Meal prep and clean-up was considered the domain of housewives and mothers- a demographic whose contributions have always been seriously under-appreciated and economically-invisible. It is a classic example of unpaid labor and a significant time-suck for a demographic that is increasingly time-starved- especially with the continued rise in low-income single mothers and the shrinking access to financial resources.

I saw beans and rice and wanted to cry. Please never never tell a poor person to eat beans and rice.

brunhiddensmusings

‘hey poor people, have you tried eating handfulls of raw oats instead of human food?’

Pinto beans make me want to cry too. If you ever had to eat them even when they burned to the bottom of the pot and made the house smell like warmed over death, say I.

Relationship Headcanons:

Sorry these are so late! Life gets like that sometimes, but here are the male cast headcanons!

Notes: This list does not include Crypto, because I’d like to wait until his info page is added to the website (where hopefully more information will be added!) Will write for him in a separate post when info is added!

Warnings: Un-beta’d or re-read by me, because life is ain’t kind, and I added some Yandere headcanons for Caustic (there is a warning before them), just case I felt like it could be fitting. I put Caustic at the bottom of the list, and the Yandere head canons come last, so you can stop once you reach them!

The slip of paper says “This place is a maze. I can’t escape”

please help me escape an abusive mother

i feel so absolutely terrible asking for donations, but my situation is getting worse by the day and there’s only so much i can do

i’m a 24 year old latino trans man in new york. i suffer from clinical depression, an anxiety disorder, and bpd - as well as several physical health problems such as a compromised immune system (celiac disease) and chronic migraines.

despite my compromised immune system i work part time (i’m an essential worker) but i make very little due to few hours. i’ve lived with my mother for my whole life and she has always been incredibly emotionally and verbally abusive. since the start of the covid-19 pandemic, her treatment of me has become something i am unable to tolerate without shutting down. i’m at the point where it’s hard to function. each day is a battle with her that leaves me wondering if suicide is the only way out. she’s begun wildly gaslighting me and triggering shutdowns and dissociation. i’m so tired from both work and doing everything for her + my emotional exhaustion that i can sleep all day (and i do).

i have actually started a profile for affordable living for my boyfriend and i today, but nyc affordable living is a lottery you must apply for. my boyfriend is also a trans man and lives out of state, but was put out of work by the pandemic. his home life is also not ideal. at this moment in time, neither of us have the savings or income to even apply for housing. all that i know is, my mother is telling me i need to leave asap.

please, if you can, donate to help me, my boyfriend @dadbodsarehot, and my pet rescue duck into a better and safer situation. i didn’t know where else to turn.

you can send any donations here (my paypal.me is under my witchcraft business’ name).

you can also contact me directly for $5 tarot readings or $10 astral readings. if you are interested in spirit/entity companionship, you can also join my shop discord and browse the spirits i have available for binding. it currently gets next to no business.

please reblog this if you can’t donate. thank you so much, everyone.

here’s a picture of my duck, paz, to make you smile (you may have seen her around social media)

UPDATE: my mother’s behavior is getting worse. she’s taken to driving recklessly and almost getting us into accidents at least 3 times in the last week. she is also breaking glass, ranging from food we just bought, to cups and mugs, and even my duck’s drinking bowl. today i’m almost an hour late to work because she wouldn’t let me leave the house until i finished everything around the house she wanted me to do. i’m ashamed and afraid i might lose my job, and that’s the only income i have. further, my boyfriend’s roommate is threatening to kick him out by september, in which case he won’t have anywhere to go.

PLEASE, please please help if you can. i’m at the point where i don’t know what to do anymore.

rakyats-archive

UPDATE 2: it’s confirmed that my boyfriend’s roommate (house owner) is kicking him out in september. if this happens, he’ll have nowhere to go. our only shot is to get a place secured soon or we won’t have anything left

i’m searching daily for the cheapest apartment space for us to get. with our low price range + a deposit, we’d need just a few months of rent money to keep us afloat until he can find a job here and i can transition to full time work at my job (or find something more fruitful)

we’re looking to raise about $3-4000 if at all possible. please, if you can spare even $1, together that would help immensely. thank you so much for your time, again. and thank you to all of the amazing people who have donated already. you’re incredible.

rakyats-archive

update 3: just a small one because i’m so tired of just everything. the house my one bedroom apartment (which i share with 2 family members) is located in now has bed bugs. mattresses and blankets are getting thrown out. who knows if we can afford an exterminator. i’ve lived here without a space of my own since i was 13 and i don’t care anymore about saving it, i need to get out.

my boyfriend sleeps on a recliner and it’s now broken. he has painful problems with his back and trying to use his roommate’s old bed is causing him immense pain affecting his sleep. long story short: we need to get a place asap. i’m always at work and half my minimal paycheck gets taken by by mother. please please please help. if we had a dollar for every note we’d be set. reblogs help so much if you can’t donate. thank you

rakyats-archive

family got an exterminator for the bed bugs that wasn’t safe for birds. it smells so bad it burns my lungs. we’re all put outside for today. trying to keep the birds happy but paz is confused and stressed. it’s 90°f in new york today but we’re in the shade with water. i wish so badly for their sake to get out of here soon. my mother is going berserk. my boyfriend only has about a month left before he’s kicked out. we need about $3000 at least at this point. i don’t know what to do. please help us if you can.

rakyats-archive

UPDATE: i truly hope this is the last one with bad news that i have to make. we need help more than ever. my boyfriend has two weeks before he’s kicked out of his home. tonight, the abusive homeowner invaded his personal privacy by eavesdropping on a phone call with his mother. upon hearing him complain about his situation, she barged into the room and began screaming and hurling insults at river while he was still on the phone. she said things to and about him that i can’t even repeat, because they were disgusting (transphobic, fatphobic and ableist) and it breaks my heart to think about it. she threatened to hit him, call the police, and when he spoke up to defend himself, she threw an object at him. the end result is that she is giving him only two weeks now to leave, and will throw all of his belongings out if he refuses due to his rights as a tenant. he may have rights to a couple more weeks, but this atmosphere is abusive and dangerous and something i do not want him staying in.

PLEASE, please help us if you can. if you can only donate a dollar or two, that’s still amazing. it all adds up. if you can help out a little more, i will be so thankful for the rest of my life. both of us are scared and out of options. please help. we have two weeks. thank you so much

rakyats-archive

my mom is unhinged she’s going to my other birds to shit talk about paz to them and she’s threatening to get rid of her

every waking day is misery please help

rakyats-archive

small update: please help us. we still don’t have enough funds to do anything. my bf is being kicked out this week. hurricane isaias knocked my power out and it’s going to be 4-5 days for me on my heat intolerant medication + trying to keep the birds cool. there’s barely a way for me to charge my phone because my mother’s emotional and verbal abuse is skyrocketing in the current situation. she’s just been mocking me and rolling her eyes and saying it’s not real when i start to get sick from the heat’s effect with my meds. i’m just sitting here crying i need to get out. we both need to be safe

You missed some of the best ones

dragonastra

the best part about it is that the art installation isn’t actually called the Bean. It’s called Cloud Gate, and artist Anish Kapoor (yes, THAT Anish Kapoor) hates that we call it the Bean.

But i mean, look at it. It’s a bean.

How could you forget this one though

I HAD NO FUCKING IDEA THAT THE BEAN WAS CREATED BY ANISH KAPOOR.

Alright sit down for some Art World Drama bcause this is what I live for.

So, sometime last year (?) science invented Vantablack, which is the darkest possible shade of black. Art world got incredibly excited. But as it needs to be very carefully made in a lab, it’s hard to get a hold of, and is extremely expensive. Enter Anish Kapoor, aka FuckFace McGee. Anish Kapoor buys the rights to Vantablack. He is the only human being on the planet that can legally use it, and he’s kind of a prick about it.

Art world is not thrilled with that.

Enter Stuart Semple.

Stuart Semple is an artist, and also makes pigments to sell in his free time. Stuart Semple is astoundingly pissed about this Vantablack nonsense, and Anish Kapoor’s dickery. Stuart Semple makes a new pigment, the brightest shade of pink ever, called Pinkest Pink, and puts it for sale on the internet. To be bought by everybody except Anish Kapoor. Literally, to purchase, you need to confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor, do not associate with him, and will not sell or give the pigment to Anish Kapoor or his associates. Art world has a good laugh, everyone buys Pinkest Pink because it’s awesome, and damn it we deserve something.

Anish Kapoor however is a penis, and will not take this lying down, because HOW DARE he not have literally everything.

Anish Kapoor gets his London associates to buy him a thing of Pinkest Pink, and being such a classy human being, posts a picture to instagram of him with his middle finger covered in Pinkest Pink, captioned with “Up yours. #pink”

Everyone flips shit, because. Y’know. Fuck that guy. Especially Stuart Semple. For context here, Anish Kapoor is one of the richest artists on the planet, and has repeatedly been referred to as everything wrong with the art world, and the epitome of the art worlds elitism problem. He’s a giant douchebag. Meanwhile Stuart Semple makes pigments just to get them out there. He turns 0 profit from his now enourmously popular pigments.

Stuart Semple launches an investigation as to who the fuck leaked Pinkest Pink, and plans to strike back. He does so by releasing two new products. First is Diamond Dust, which is a glitter made from glass, so that a painting is still visible after it’s applied, but glitters like a mofo. It’s the most reflective glitter out there, and is available to everyone who isn’t Anish Kapoor. And it being made of glass, if you stick your finger in there, it’s going to hurt quite a bit, so that was Stuart Semple’s way of saying “shove your middle finger in this, asshole, see what happens”. Except without saying that, because he can get an insult across while still being fucking classy.

He also releases Black 2.0, created with the help of over a thousand artists worldwide.

Black 2.0 is the answer to Vantablack. Black 2.0 is a slightly less black black, but looks functionally the same to the human eye. It’s completely safe, smells like cherries, and costs four pounds. Vantablack is highly toxic, potentially explosive, needs to be applied in a special laboratory and sealed properly, can’t be moved across borders, can reach 300 degrees celsius if you’re not extremely careful, and costs thousands of dollars. Anish Kapoor is the only human being who can use Vantablack. He is the only human being who cannot use Black 2.0.

So I think we can guess who got the better deal.

And thus the feud ends, Kapoor defeated.

…But not quite.

Kapoor, in this entire afair, has made exactly two comments to the public. The first being his charming message about aquiring Pinkest Pink, the second being claiming to Buzzfeed that he and his small army of lawyers will be suing Semple, an extremely poor artist who cannot afford a lawyer.

No lawsuit has been made yet, fyi.

The point is, Kapoor is a prick, and doesn’t like talking to the lower classes. So one day in July 2017, he decides he needs another floor on his London studio apartment, and starts making arrangements to have it built. His neighbors are fucking pissed, because this will ruin the light of their apartments. They call to Semple to save them, or at the very least piss Kapoor off some more.

Semple answers to the call, and releases two new paints, Phaze and Shift, as always, banned to Kapoor. They change colours, Phaze with temperature, and Shift is just iridescent. Shift needs to be painted over Black 2.0 to work, and Phaze just works on its own.

So that’s been the art world for the last two years.

Basically, get fucked Anish Kapoor your bean sucks and so does your vantablack.

todayiwrotenothing

Stuart Semple is organising a bean-kissing event for Anish Kapoor’s birthday.

secretsfromwholecloth

Reblogging for “By attending this event you confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor, you are in no way affiliated with Anish Kapoor, you are not attending on behalf of Anish Kapoor or an associate of Anish Kapoor. To the best of your knowledge, information, and belief this event will not be attended by Anish Kapoor.”

Y’all missed the best part about the lightest light, called aptly ‘Lit’. This is from their product page:

claydart

Two things:

1. “Anish Kapoor is however a penis” is the best line in this post.

2. I wish to be half as petty and half as awesome as Stuart Semple

speckled-light

I hope Stuart Semple is making a lot of money. What a good person.

0-memento-mori-0

Go support him the paint’s are pretty cheap and you get the added bonus of being one of many to help piss off Anish Kapoor

theresagooseinthemainframe

He is my fucking role model for pettiness oh my god

politicalcdnmama

It got better! I’m also excited because he just released biodegradable glitter in non plastic containers! How amazing is that?! Stuart Semple, good guy for the planet and artists, fighter against the rich elite artist like asshole Kapoor.
