Welcome to Shitsville, poopulation YOU!

6/8/2010 4:23:39 PM

heck yea I can. Lunch alone was like $10.

6/8/2010 5:14:51 PM

that wouldn't even cover my daily mt. dew.

6/8/2010 5:16:57 PM

I had beans and greens with tortillas and some pouched tuna

that was probably like $1.89 or so

lol wrong thread?



^^
Sodas are out.
Brand names are out.
Restaurants are out.
Snacks and candy are out.
note: I am not counting booze.
Booze isn't food unless added to it.



It might just be possible.
$0.71 * 365 = $259.15

beans: $0.79/lb
rice: $0.29/lb
cayenne: $4.99/lb?
salt: $0.49/lb?

2 parts rice to 1 part beans, so:

185 lbs beans = $146.15
370 lbs rice = $107.30
1 lb cayenne = $4.99
1 lb salt = $0.49

1095 meals -- comes to approx 2.7 oz beans and 5.4 oz rice per meal.
A half-pound (uncooked) of beans and rice, 3 times a day.
Plus all the beer and wine you want.

6/8/2010 6:18:21 PM

salty, spicy beans and rice every day for a year?

i'd probably eat my own leg after a few months

6/8/2010 6:22:05 PM

you could live off 12 whole eggs/day for a pretty long time, I'm sure in bulk they're way less than $.71/dozen...18 whole eggs/day is feasible, especially in different parts of the country, I bought eggs in Michigan last summer @ $.39/dozen via super wal-mart

6/8/2010 6:28:51 PM

but..but.. my MY MT.DEW.

I NEED YOU!

6/8/2010 6:30:04 PM

well you'd die of high cholesteral with all those eggs, and you'd need some sort of fruit or you'd get scurrvy. that how you spell it? might still be doable.

6/8/2010 6:49:06 PM

and buy 2 liter sodas..$1 or less on sale for mtn dew.

6/8/2010 6:50:01 PM

you can avoid scurvy if you eat cabbage which has vitamin C and is really cheap

I say this as a fan of cabbage and former sufferer of scurvy

6/8/2010 6:55:35 PM

^^I actually didn't notice til you pointed that out.

It was overshadowed by other stupidity

6/8/2010 6:56:04 PM

good call on the cabbage

how do eggs not have a high amount of cholesterol? i would think 12-18 eggs a day would not be that healthy. you could get ripped though.

6/8/2010 7:05:16 PM

Did I say they don't have a high amount of cholesterol?

are you the child I'm sponsoring in Ethiopia? If so, you better be eating the 71 cents a day I'm sending to you.

6/8/2010 11:06:34 PM

^3 just correct his mistake already

ok, so yes, while eggs are high in cholesterol, your dietary cholesterol != serum cholesterol, your serum cholesterol levels(the cholesterol you should are worried about) are controlled via your dietary fats

mono and poly raise good cholesterol
saturated and trans raise bad cholesterol

a whole egg will have saturated fats, so there is a correlation between whole eggs and increasing serum cholesterol, but the dietary cholesterol of the egg is not to blame.

You really would just need a replacement for some fiber and important micronutrient. Bananas are dirt cheap, high in fiber and potassium and loaded with some more micronutrients. This could be possible.

many days i eat 0cents/day worth of food

6/9/2010 7:55:25 AM

i have no doubt whatsoever that I could live off $0.71/day of food.

i am thrifty as hell, i have a garden, i buy in bulk and I generally only eat 2 small meals a day (or just one moderate-sized meal)

6/9/2010 10:50:00 AM

According to the scenario "Can you eat 71¢/day worth of food", you'd have to take note of the market price of the home-grown vegetables. You wouldn't be allowed to eat more than 71¢ worth of food in a day, regardless of whether you bought it, or say, got it at a pot-luck, with free coupons, picked it from the garden, etc.

If the scenario was "Can you spend no more than 71¢/day on food", then gardening, dumpster diving, etc. would be okay. I could definitely spend no more than 71¢/day on food under those circumstances....

6/11/2010 7:49:46 AM

i can definitely eat 71¢/day, hell my lunch alone was like $10

oh did you mean only?

6/11/2010 8:13:03 AM

No, and I didn't need to say "only". If you spent $10 one day, you didn't spend 71¢, did you?
(Because 10.00 isn't equal to 0.71 -- Do you see how that works?)


I said, "Can you eat 71¢ [per] day worth of food."
I didn't say, "Can you eat [at least] 71¢ worth of food in a day."
Your interpretation is flat out wrong, and you know it. (keep trolling though -- I want this to reach page 2.)

i can eat 71 cents a day, in fact i do it by breakfast

you are wrong

6/11/2010 9:27:44 AM

so your day ends right after breakfast?



[Edited on June 11, 2010 at 9:30 AM. Reason : you are wronger]

6/11/2010 9:30:04 AM

you do not need to say at least

you do, however, need to say only

try it this way:
"Can you bench press 71 lbs?"
"Yes, in fact I can bench press 100lbs."

has this thread descended into a semantics discussion

you guys realize that "only", "at least", and "at most" readings are typically determined by context, right? clearly it's easy to eat 71c/day worth of food ... hmm... I WONDER WHAT THE OP MEANT

You clearly aren't saying it the way I did.
It isn't 71¢ -- it's 71¢ per day.
As in -- the total amount for the entire day is 71¢. No more. No less.


you are so wrong.

Meat? I don't eat much, and it's mostly organic or local. ...used to eat even less.
Online shopping? Only as a last resort.
Really though, it's pretty fucking stupid to think that carbon footprints aren't important considerations.
(Now, I could stereotype you as the idiot meat-head frat loser you probably are, but I won't do that. Oh, wait... )
