ExiledInIllinois Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Modified to maintain theme of thread. How much is that? $10.99?
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Yes cheaper... But can one get as many calories? And yes, what you posted is the right answer. People are lazy... The last thing they want to do is any work... And for some, any MORE work. Especially if they are in a low-end job. I know that sounds awful. On another note... I help out at a local kitchen that feeds and sleeps homeless... Many come in right after working jobs at Burger King, McDonalds, and other fast food joints... They come in and get the "real food" served (and of course a bed0... Go figure! It's better to get 1500 calories a day and be a little hungry (in fact, a little hungry is never a bad thing IMO) than to get 3000 a day from fast food and dig yourself an early grave with salt, saturated fat and sugar. Congrats on your work at the soup kitchen...it's always nice to hear of somebody making a difference

In that case, I think the fast-food route is much better.

Congrats on your work at the soup kitchen...it's always nice to hear of somebody making a difference I agree totally... But try and tell the irrational thing that is called the human body that. It is hard for some to shake off that instinctual feast and famine mechanism... "I don't know when my next meal will occur" mode that has been around since cavemen. That is why "super sizing" works... It is instinctually basic good economic sense.... BAD dietary sense. "For only $.50 more... You get what?"

DC Tom Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Okay... Here goes! WTF you talking about?... Explain. DON'T DRINK THE LOCK WATER!
LeviF Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 DON'T DRINK THE LOCK WATER! My father's retirement plan, when he was younger, was straight out of a The Who song as well. "Hope I die before I get old..."
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 DON'T DRINK THE LOCK WATER! Sorry... Must be the lock water. Don't worry, things will be worse down river when I **** it out! I just don't get this (original post I replied to) coming from you.

I just don't get this (original post I replied to) coming from you. What, my retirement plan being "die young"? I plan on dying before retirement, so I don't save for retirement. What part didn't you understand?
IDBillzFan Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 I plan on dying before retirement, so I don't save for retirement. Reminds me of the comedian who was at a funeral of a person who died broke. He said he was surprised at everyone commenting how sad it was that the guy died penniless, to which he responded, "That doesn't sound sad to me. It sounds like good timing."
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 What, my retirement plan being "die young"? I plan on dying before retirement, so I don't save for retirement. What part didn't you understand? Yes... I never thought you were so negative. I am sorry, it just sounds strange coming from you... I wouldn't have thought it. Please don't take offense at me questioning it... It caught me off guard. I hope you don't die before you retire.
LeviF Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Yes... I never thought you were so negative. I am sorry, it just sounds strange coming from you... I wouldn't have thought it.

Just Jack Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Halfway back on topic, this was a typical cart of groceries at the first of the month when the food stampers come out, when I worked at the grocery store.... chips, kool-aid, little debbie snacks, bananas, bag o' meat, lobster tails, jumbo shrimp, case of burgers, crackers, jello, gallon of milk, canned vegetables, canned ravioli, soda, high sugar can of "juice", loaf of bread, and other crap I can't remember
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 How on earth is that negative? It is definately not optimistic.
