Well I’m vegetarian

Hell, even if you can easily afford way more than that, you are still closer to the person who can only afford $2 of food a day than a billionaire.

ericbomb OP ,

Ain’t that the truth! I’m a lay off and a medical emergency from needing to do this diet.

Billionaires are either an apocalypse or a revolution away from needing to do this.

One of these is much more likely to happen tomorrow than the other.

The difference between a million and a billion is about a billion

To be clear, if you’re at all concerned about maintaining a food budget, even if it’s $500/week the billionaire class is still your enemy.

To be clear, the billionaire class is your enemy

ericbomb OP ,

Hey, there might be some politicians on here who can always call up their good friends whenever they need something!

AbsoluteChicagoDog ,

To be clear, the 100 million class is also your enemy

I am always amazed how everyone is so focused on billionaires only

ifItWasUpToMe ,

It’s just a class that is absolutely exploring people. You can’t become a billionaire without it. You can absolutely become an honest millionaire so it wouldn’t make sense to use that.

ericbomb OP ,

Yeah like there are folks who are worth 10ish million who just bought a house 50ish years ago that gained a lot of value and had dual incomes that saved all their money for retirement.

100 million folks are on THIN ice, but there is probably an author or inventor out there who made something really nice and everyone they worked with was also well taken care of. Most of them are probably garbage, but not all of them have to be. Some famous actors also were well known for making sure everyone got paid what they deserved on set and were very generous.

I just don’t see getting to a billion without someone being taken advantage of on the way though.

To be positively translucent, even someone with $1,000,000 in the bank has 1000x less than the poorest billionaire. For other disturbing facts, see mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/.

Plant based whole foods, the fuel of the rebellion!

Two tips, one meme.

ericbomb OP ,

Feel free to ask me questions on how to eat on a budget so you can keep your strength up while organizing against those that wish nothing more for you to work until the day you die and own nothing of consequence!

Man where were you 8 years ago when I ate zero protein because I didn’t know it could be cheap. Couldn’t afford animal products and was conditioned to believe those were the only viable source of protein.

Btw I’d like to add textured vegetable protein to the list! It’s one of my go-tos nowadays.

volvoxvsmarla ,

Out of interest, what do you mean with textured vegetable protein?

theatomictruth ,

It’s a processed food that can be used as a meat alternative

I had to look it up myself.

Textured or texturized vegetable protein (TVP), also known as textured soy protein (TSP), soy meat, or soya chunks, is a defatted soy flour product, a by-product of extracting soybean oil. It is often used as a meat analogue or meat extender. It is quick to cook, with a protein content comparable to some meats.

Soy flour turned into little chunks to give feeling of chunks in things you’re used to having meat chunks in while being high in protein. So like burritos, stews, pasta sauce, stuff like that.

ericbomb OP ,

I grew up a similar way! My mom always referred to protein as meat. Needed to add chicken or beef or pork to be the “protein” to make a dinner complete.

Never mind it being cheese or bean based, meaning it had tons of protein.

I would have to do the math on TVP on if it’s a better source of protein per buck than like split peas. But glad it’s working out for you!

Another great one is seitan aka wheat meat, and it’s really cheap if you make it from flour rather than vital wheat gluten. Still pretty cheap if made from vital wheat gluten too.
