40 Food Charts People Shared Online That May Change The Way You View Some Foods

It's still a problem. It's a problem that is caused by economic realities that probably won't change, but that doesn't make it less of a problem, just a less solvable one.

It's also not strawberries or water...

... which that picture accurately represented

So hamburgers are not expensive to produce, Ben? There is steep cost to pay for hamburgers (meat) than just $$. 1.) Gallons of water it takes to produce one pound of: Potatoes - 34; Oranges - 61; Rice - 299; Tofu - 302; Beef - 2,500 !!! 2.) Producing two strips of bacon generates three times the amount of greenhouse gases than driving one mile in a Prius does. 3.) Cows produce 500 liters of methane each per day. Methane pollution is a climate killer. 4.) More than half of the problem of climate change can be attributed to our diet of meat, dairy, and eggs. 5.) could we end world hunger? - We are currently growing enough food to feed 10 billion people, but 80 % of our grain is fed to livestock. It's really lovely to call sentient beings "stock", isn't it? 6.) A person on a vegan diet produces 1/2 the CO2, uses 1/11 the oil, 1/13 the water, 1/18 the land than his/her meat eating counterpart. And do not forget to add to the cost of the disease management ("health" care).

Some of that is literally raw food and veg. It's not cheaper to produce junk, they want to profit more from people's guilt. Its approx 15p to make a chocolate bar and 18p to produce a punnet of strawberries (sourced from Fresh Produce Journal)

LOL, what?! The point is that poor people often have worse health because they only afford lower quality food.

I feel this has less to do with cost of production and more to do whihc how much you are willing to pay.

yeah evian water is more expensive to produce...

water costs as much or more than Coke.

The only reason the vast food is cheaper is because of farm subsidies - they can sell the corn for less than it cost to grow it because the government pays for it. If they did the same to produce instead of just corn and soybeans, it would eliminate this disparity. Or if they stopped subsidies a can of coke would be closer to $5

I wasn't either, but I once they a sweet potato version of Poutine and absolutely love it over the one with regular potatoes :D I think it's about the dish, not just the ingredient

No you're not alone

No. I find them unbearably sweet.

potatoes are nutrient-rich, too, just not fashionably colorful ones (potassium, vit C, vit B6)...

... and you don't need to; sweet potatoes (also called yams) are hardier, more nutritious, therefore more filling.

Some are oven dried, tastier and no additives

And usually have sugar added.

That's why they're soooo good!! Hahha

They are dehydrated.

I like them raw, no sugar.

It's how they're fried that really adds the calories.

I looked up banana chips with no added sugar, this one still has 521 calories per 100 grams: https://nuts.com/driedfruit/banana-chips/unsweetened/1lb.html

Bananas are high in sugar regardless

If I'm making a PB&J sandwich it will be more than that, plus an extra 95cal piece of bread.

I'll put on half a jar if I feel like it.

hello! i'm no one

It's about 2.5 tablespoons. People definitely put that much.

Of course no one puts that much. In fact, many people put on way way more and they barely ever eat just one single slice.

Speak for yourself! :)

I pack on my jam and PB like crazy

You have never seen my 18-year-old put it on a sandwich.

All of the US does that, unless mom makes them and the budget is tight..

I definitely do. I love me some PB&Js

you would be surprised :)

I put on more than that lol

Amerikanci

It depends; is that sandwich the only meal your child will get, that day?

I enjoy a skim coat or just a trace of PB. 40g is a lot.

Or milk, hi or lo fat

Pffft. Black coffee or GTFO. Only philistines have cream or dairy in itv

Yeah, I go to one of the top dietitians in my city and I can tell you right now that he doesn't give a s**t about stuff like that. Obviously you should have a general pattern of healthy habits, but since eating healthy is something you have to do for the rest of your life, being purist to the point of not enjoying what you eat and drink will just make you more likely to quit the whole thing.

A lifestyle overhaul? Make your lifestyle/dietary changes gradually, in (small) steps.

It also depends whether you use milk or the kind of creamer that is essentially margarine.

I agree. Fresh Veggies make the best snack
