It's actually cheaper to make a salad than it is to make a burger if you buy the ingredients at a grocery store and make them from scratch. If you're at McDonalds looking for healthy food options, you've already ****** up.

It depends in my opinion. No one asked for my opinion In what you define as higher quality. If you mean caviar and **** like that they certainly are, but if you mean veggies, fruit and lean meat. Nah it is cheap and you eventually feel better without soda (tons of sugar), instant/processed food (tons of salt and trans fat).

Apples and oranges. It's a lot cheaper to grow plants than animals. For every step up the food chain, you need about 10 times more resources to yield an equivalent amount of food. Sure, an 8 oz filet mignon should run you more than 8 oz of chuck but plants don't require nearly the same input as animals do. There's no good reason a salad should cost more than a burger.

It's actually not, because of subsidies. Farmers are heavily encouraged to farm animals and I think corn. So from a farmers perspective, it is both cheaper and more lucrative to farm animals for meat than most anything else.

Food needs to say affordable of course, even for the lowest of incomes but then taxing junk food won't change this.
Those living on low incomes just buy the ingredients and make the food themselves, since it's much less expensive

It works differently in the US. A basic Caesar salad(lettuce, croutons, dressing) is about $3 to $4 premade. A burger from MacDonald's can be bought for $1.

Now there's a way to avoid this though. Buying lettuce, croutons, dressing can cost between $5 and $10. You can make about 6 or more salads from that(depending on how much lettuce is used). The only issue with this method is if you don't eat the lettuce before it goes bad then you've got wasted food and money.

Though this lends to the issue that we Americans are lazy. Most of us don't want to take the time to buy the ingredients and the time to put it together at home. We like to just grab and go without any effort.

I guess all in all, our culture is to blame for our bad habits.

Their point is that if you have a cheaper alternative, people will naturally choose it. This is a fundamental part of human nature, and you are hopelessly naive if you think otherwise.

In reality, there are other factors; time needed to prepare food and the social aspect, for example.

In reality, everyone with half of a brain knows that even if you'd eat only those 1$ hamburgers, but would do so in moderation, you wouldn't be fat. There even was a dietician who did an experiment and ate nothing but sweets and junk food for a couple months, but counted calories and kept them in perfect check, and whaddya know - he lost weight.

Health issues caused by lack of proper nuitrition aside, it's clear as day that you won't look like a pig if you won't eat like a pig.

I repeat, that point is ******** . Using the price difference as an argument is an excuse to stuff oneself with burgers with no regrets, nothing more. You're hopelessly delusional if you think otherwise.

And people do not do that. You don't seem to understand the point; it is that if you actually want people to be healthy, making the unhealthy alternative cheaper is a horrible way to go about it. If you don't want people to be healthy, but want people to have more free will, then obviously you wouldn't have a problem with it. But you obviously can't expect that people will just get thinner.

And they're right, by the way; when you make healthier food cheaper (I think the main way they do that now is by giving you discounts on healthy items when you use food stamps for them) whaddya know, people eat healthier.

The dietician thing means nothing. He's one guy. You'd need to have large-scale experimentation for it to mean anything. Furthermore, he's irrelevant. There are a multitude of reasons why your average working-class dude is not going to be healthy, from unattractive gyms to lack of free time to cheaper and faster junk food in social gathering places.

People eat what tastes good. It's not just 1$ burger over an 8$ salad. You know full and well that it's also fries with that, sodas, snacks, sweets, everything that's empty calories - and people eat ton of it. And pay for it.

They wouldn't buy salad even if it was 1$. Burger tastes good, leaves them feeling sated. It's a food that's pleasant to eat and many people, especially overweight ones, often see it as the only pleasure they have left. They just can't admit they can't stop eating and pretend that there are valid exucses. There is NONE.

You are not thinking realistic. Market doesn't make food prices the way they are because someone wants people to be fat or slim. That was never the point of producing food, thus you can't consider it a valid argument. It was always about making the cheapest product possible, saving costs, and get the most money off it. If someone is too stupid to keep that in mind - too bad. Junk food is not cheap so you can get fat easier, and it's actually not a real saving anyway - because it's empty food that you eat a lot of, often packed to the brim with enhancers that make you crave for more, increasing your appetite.

Eating one well-composed salad actually IS cheaper. If you sum up money spent at the end of the day, one decent salad that leaves you full for next 4 hours is much lower price than all the combined trash you'd eat otherwise. Not to mention that after your health goes to **** , you will spend so much money to keep your organism from falling apart, you will regret not choosing that bloody salad over a fatass burger.

And actually, salads nowadays can be very cheap, it's a nice market at that point, so I don't see why people have a problem with it. You just have to go to an actual grocery store instead of a friggin McDonald's.

That's pretty provably false. The cost of food has no direct relationship to it's health merit. Compare water (arguably the most healthy beverage you can consume) to Pepsi to a fine wine.

Like virtually everything else, the cost you pay is a complex interaction between the costs associated with producing it, the level of competition between the people producing the good, the amount of people who want to buy it (and in what quantity), etc, etc....

The only place you'd ever find a $1 burger is off a fast food menu somewhere. And it's hard to find a $1 burger. But in terms of health, read the nutrition information, the salad you get at a place like Wendy's is actually less healthy than the burger you'd get anyway.

Salad's aren't inherently healthy. Burgers aren't inherently unhealthy either. Bananas are very healthy and, at least where I live, are dirt cheap. I know bodybuilder/health nuts who eat lots and lots of cheap carbs and it's very healthy, so long as you're eating a reasonable number of calories. And rice/beans/pasta are pretty much the cheapest things you can find.

That's pretty ironic coming from somebody complaining about smear campaigns for foods with lower calorific content. Pound for pound, salad has way less calories than a burger (assuming you don't view salad as a ranch delivery device). By replacing meat with an equivalent amount of vegetables, you're effectively eating less. There's a reason you don't see many fat vegetarians. This is common sense, people.

But the first girl's point stands. Burgers are cheaper than salads so people are more likely to choose the burger. This shouldn't be the case, plants are much cheaper to grow than animals. For every step up the food chain, on average you need roughly 10x more resources (i.e. money) than before to get an equivalent amount of food. Meat prices are only competitive with vegetables due to government subsidies. If you want to see Americans eat a balanced diet, let the free market take over.

I want it clear, I'm not advocating a vegan lifestyle or anything like that. I am however suggesting that certain groups are manipulating the American diet for their own personal gain in a way that is objectively harmful to our health, our environment, and our wallets. **** those guys.

She didn't tell her to work out, she told her the benefits of a semi-active lifestyle, which can basically just be daily activity.

No, she's right. You lose weight by burning more calories than you take in daily, the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn daily. Couple that with not eating 3000 calories each day and you won't typically have problems with obesity.

Since you know, you add weight by taking in more than you can burn off.. Not doing that is a good idea.

The trick I found was to cut down slowly, instead of eating 2-3 servings, only eat 2.

Cut down on all liquids outside of black coffee, tea and water when you eat alone, not like you need it.

As for feeling hungry, then you might need to eat more filling foods like fibers and so on, food that takes longer to proses.

Honestly, it isn't really hard to lose weight once you make up your mind. I gained a lot of weight during my pregnancy and after my miscarriage, but I decided in October that enough was enough. I started counting calories and drinking 8 cups of water a day and I've dropped 25 lbs. And I haven't been exercising except for walking occasionally.

You can literally eat fast food and ice cream for every meal, every day, and lose weight. Eat less per meal. or eat fewer meals without increasing the size of each meal, add a little exercise into the mix (take a walk, swim, anything) so your body doesn't try to eat your muscles or reduce your metabolism further, and the fat should come off. The more aggressive your food intake cuts are and the more exercise you get the faster your body will be forced to consume your fat reserves to stay alive, just don't literally starve yourself as that will probably break your resolve and this process will fail.

A big Mac has 540 Calories. A Grilled chicken salad has roughly 300, but spikes to 500 with ranch dressing,
Now both of those would be fine if you stopped there. But most people are going to add atleast a medium fry (340 Calories) or likely a large (500), and a large coke (another 400 or so). So now you've set yourself up for a daily intake of 3000 calories, and that's how you get fat.

Yeah, but a salad without the chicken I wouldn't consider as being that healthy, as you are cutting your major source of protein and energy out. Included the ranch dressing afterwards as it is likely the most common choice.
Was really just comparing calories of meals.

Eat some eggs for protein and some carbs for breakfast, you can supplement the chicken at dinner with something else anyways. In either case ranch dressing is effectively pouring fat on your salad.

I'm not disagreeing. Was simply comparing common calorie counts from Mcdonalds.
And having grilled chicken on a salad is an incredibly non harmful addition.

I assume it'd be breaded and fried at McDonalds.

Is there no option to have it not be bacon ranch?

It doesn't automatically come with ranch, and you might be able to exclude the bacon.

But if you bought all the items to make a salad you could probably make 7 salads each costing $1.

But that would require them to walk past the McDonald's near the front of Walmart, and admit that they've been too lazy to throw a bunch of green stuff in a bowl without paying someone else $7 to do it for them, dood.

I don't really get why serving sizes are an excuse for obesity. People eat as much as they can until they feel full. If you'd reduce the size of the hamburger to it's half, people wouldn't eat less, they would just buy 2. Also if someone is full the size of the serving plays no rule because they can't eat more just because they have food left on their plate (except for people who were raised by the "you can't have the second course unless you eat the soup" way)

Well, for one thing packaging and size does influence how much we eat, it isn't the main reason for obesity but it is a factor. Skittles and m&m's because people eat more when they are colourfull.

If they reduce the size of the burger and people buy two, the people haven't changed their serving sizes.

It's referring to the size of the peoples meals, not the product.

Way to take something worth a chuckle and just completely kill it. Must be a riot at parties.

There are a couple of things to note here.

it is definitely true that you can lose weight and stay trim, on a diet consisting of basically anything.

However it is also true that the vast majority of people lack the intelligence, time, or willpower to moderate their diet. yes i'm looking at most of you.
Most people eat what's available around them, whenever they feel like it. and as a result obesity rates are strongly correlated with the availability of fast food.

they're also inversely correlated with intelligence. you don't see many fat doctors, although plenty of chubby nurses

I've never understood why people connect salads with diet. Do you know how caloric a salad can be? My favorite includes cheese, ham, pasta and sauce made of god knows what. A salad can be extremely yummy, even if it's not caloric. Tomatoes and cucumbers are god give gift and anyone not making use of it is an idiot. Also, I got fat on salad and grilled chicken. And the salad eating was the prevalent

just chop it up and dress it, but I'd add cucumbers, white cheese and maybe some sweet corn. If you like onions, add a little of them too.

Im just gonna add in something I read a while back (im going to recall it to the best of my ability) and while I dont agree with the girl above she does have a good point. One of the states in the US with the highest level of obesity (I believe they said missouri though I could be wrong) is also the poorest and its been theorized that this is partly due to the massive subsidies our government puts on corn. Farmers thus can produce gigantic quantities of corn for it to be turned into corn syrup and other things which are then used by companies to produce ****** (albeit very tasty) junk food at extraordinarily cheap prices. If we moved some subsidies over to other crops it might actually help to fix the problem but that is never going to happen because corn is used for EVERYTHING. However vegetables can already be bought fairly cheaply I think the majority of the problem is that alot of the people are just too lazy to take care of themselves, I just wanted to say there are other factors in play and often times you can see that in the disparity of pricing between junk food and healthier items
