FRIST!
The word faeces is the plural of the Latin word fæx meaning “dregs”. There is no singular form in the English language, making it a plurale tantum.[1] There are many colloquial terms for feces, of which some are considered profanity (such as shit, crap and turd) while others (such as poo, poop, number two, dookie and doody) are not. Terms such as dung, scat, spoor and droppings are normally used to refer to animal feces.
Stool is a common term normally used in reference to human feces. For example, in medicine to diagnose the presence or absence of a medical condition, a stool sample is sometimes requested for testing purposes. The term stool can also be used for that of non-human species.
Ecology
Cassowaries disperse seeds via their feces.
Earthworm feces aid in provision of minerals and plant nutrients in an accessible formAfter an animal has digested eaten material, the remains of that material are expelled from its body as waste. Though it is lower in energy than the food it came from, feces may still contain a large amount of energy, often 50% of that of the original food.[2] This means that of all food eaten, a significant amount of energy remains for the decomposers of ecosystems. Many organisms feed on feces, from bacteria to fungi to insects such as dung beetles, which can sense odors from long distances.[3] Some may specialize in feces, while others may eat other foods as well. Feces serve not only as a basic food, but also a supplement to the usual diet of some animals. This is known as coprophagia, and occurs in various animal species such as young elephants eating their mother’s feces to gain essential gut flora, or by other animals such as monkeys.
Feces are also important as a signal. Kestrels, for instance, are able to detect the feces of their prey (which reflect ultraviolet), allowing them to identify areas where there are large numbers of voles.
Seeds may also be found in feces. Animals which eat fruit are known as frugivores. The advantage in having fruit for a plant is that animals will eat the fruit and unknowingly disperse the seed in doing so. This mode of seed dispersal is highly successful, as seeds dispersed around the base of a plant are unlikely to succeed and are often subject to heavy predation. Provided the seed can withstand the pathway through the digestive system, it is not only likely to be far away from the parent plant, but is even provided with its own fertilizer.
Organisms which subsist on dead organic matter or detritus are known as detritivores, and play an important role in ecosystems by recycling organic matter back into a simpler form which plants and other autotrophs may once again absorb. This cycling of matter is known as the biogeochemical cycle. To maintain nutrients in soil it is therefore important that feces return to the area from which they came, which is not always the case in human society where food may be transported from rural areas to urban populations and then feces disposed of into a river or sea.
This is so insulting. So insulting I decided to write a letter about it.
Before anyone takes umbrage at what I’m about to say, let me explain that another piece of supporting evidence is that Tytoon’s theories mean delays in getting things processed, errors in handling requests, inefficiency, and many more years of error from keeping an old system alive. But before I continue, allow me to explain that Tytoon sees himself as a postmodern equivalent of Marx’s proletariat, revolutionizing the world by wresting it from its oppressors (viz., those who help people break free of his cycle of oppression).
Do you understand the implications of what I have been telling you? Are you awake? Then you probably realize that if we don’t prevent Tytoon’s poxy grievances from spreading like a malignant tumor, then Tytoon will soon become unstoppable. No borders will be able to detain him. No united global opinion will be able to isolate him. No international police or juridical institutions will be able to interdict him. He is like a pigeon. Pigeons are too self-absorbed to care about anyone else. They poo on people they don’t like; they poo on people they don’t even know. The only real difference between Tytoon and a pigeon is that Tytoon intends to lead to the destruction of the human race. That’s why Tytoon is addicted to the feeling of power, to the idea of controlling people. Sadly, he has no real concern for the welfare or the destiny of the people he desires to lead.
Tytoon’s favorite buzzword these days is “crisis”. He likes to tell us that we have a crisis on our hands. He then argues that the only reasonable approach to combat this crisis is for him to feed blind hatred. In my opinion, the real crisis is the dearth of people who understand that whenever I confront Tytoon about his disagreeable, dishonest methods of interpretation, he either tells me that I don’t understand him or feeds me some meaningless mumbo-jumbo about phallocentrism. Well, that’s another story. To get back to my main point, I ought to mention that Tytoon has planted his supporters everywhere. You can find them in businesses, unions, activist organizations, tax-exempt foundations, professional societies, movies, schools, churches, and so on. Not only does this subversive approach enhance Tytoon’s ability to delegitimize our belief systems and replace them with a counter-hegemony that seeks to shake belief in all existing institutions through the systematic perversion of both contemporary and historical facts, but it also provides irrefutable evidence that you may have noticed that he wants his cowardice and irresponsibility to be regarded as prudence. But you don’t know the half of it. For starters, Tytoon sees the world as somewhat anarchic, a game of catch-as-catch-can in which the sneakiest sociopaths nab the biggest prizes.
If you need proof that I cannot, in good conscience, step aside and let unregenerate scaramouches make people weak and dependent, then just take a look at Tytoon. Jingoism is dangerous. His vulgar version of it is doubly so. He always looks the other way when one of his helpers gets it in his head to break our country’s national and patriotic backbone and make it ripe for the slave’s yoke of international pauperism. Apparently, the principle laid down by Jean-Marie Collot d’Herbois during the French Reign of Terror still holds true today: Tout est permis à quiconque agit dans le sens de la révolution. You’d think that someone would have done something by now to thwart Tytoon’s plans to hammer away at the characters of all those who will not help him abandon me on a desert island. Unfortunately, most people are quite happy to “go along to get along” and are rather reluctant to tell it like it is. It is imperative that we inform such people that you might have heard the story that Tytoon once agreed to help us defy him. No one has located the document in which Tytoon said that. No one has identified when or where Tytoon said that. That’s because he never said it. As you might have suspected, on a television program last night I heard one of this country’s top scientists conclude that, “Each of us should realize after a moment’s thought that whenever Tytoon wants to do away with intellectual honesty, he merely yanks his pals’ puppet strings and gets them to create a Frankenstein’s monster.” That’s exactly what I have so frequently argued, and I am pleased to have my view confirmed by so eminent an individual.
Tytoon is the embodiment of everything petty in our lives. Every grievance, every envy, every irrational ideology finds expression in Tytoon. His calumnies share a number of characteristics. They jawbone aimlessly. They shout obscenities at passers-by. And they make things worse. Put together, these characteristics imply that he finds reality too difficult to swallow. Or maybe it just gets lost between the sports and entertainment pages. In either case, if Tytoon continues to legitimize the fear and hatred of the privileged for the oppressed, I will definitely be obliged to do something about him. And you know me: I never neglect my obligations.
While Tytoon is out insulting my intelligence, the general public is shouldering the bill. Sadly, this is a bill of shattered minds, broken hearts and homes, depression and all its attendant miseries, and a despondency about Tytoon’s attempts to ridicule, parody, censor, and downgrade opposing ideas. If society were a beer bottle—something, I believe, that Tytoon holds in high regard—he would indeed be the nauseating bit at the bottom that only the homeless like to drink. I, not being one of the many callow agitators of this world, can repeat with undiminished conviction something I said eons ago: If he makes fun of me or insults me I hear it, and it hurts. But I take solace in the fact that I am still able to bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to the current debate. Let’s face it: It is not uncommon for Tytoon to victimize the innocent, penalize the victim for making any effort to defend himself, and then paint the whole insufferable affair as some great benefit to humanity.
A person who wants to get ahead should try to understand the long-range consequences of his/her actions. Tytoon has never had that faculty. He always does what he wants to do at the moment and figures he’ll be able to lie himself out of any problems that arise. If I had to choose the most humorless specimen from his welter of infantile gabble, it would have to be his claim that everything will be hunky-dory if we let him introduce disease, ignorance, squalor, idleness, and want into affluent neighborhoods.
Tytoon will hate me for saying this, but if there’s one thing that he’s good at, it’s spreading the germs of hatred, of discord and jealously, of dissolution and decomposition. Tytoon, who prides himself on being open-minded and who likes to brag about it, refuses to consider my position that he says he’s going to play the blame game before you know it. Is he out of his out-of-touch mind? The answer is fairly obvious when you consider that some people are responsible and others are not. Tytoon falls into the category of “not”. There’s one thing you can truly say about him: He has a sense of humor. He was being a real comedian when he told us that the ideas of “freedom” and “denominationalism” are Siamese twins.
Although this letter provides irrefutable proof that Tytoon’s logorrheic notions have earned Tytoon a spot near the top of my Worst People in the World list, I know that he will still accuse me of lying. I suppose that’s okay as long as I can convince you, the reader, that you don’t have to say anything specifically about Tytoon for him to start attacking you. All you have to do is dare to imply that we should discuss the advantages of two-parent families, the essential role of individual and family responsibility, the need for uniform standards of civil behavior, and the primacy of the work ethic. If he can one day infantilize and corrupt the public then the long descent into night is sure to follow. Tytoon’s reason is not true reason. It does not seek the truth but only shiftless answers, frowzy resolutions to conflicts.
If Tytoon thinks that our unalienable rights are merely privileges that he can dole out or retract then maybe he should lay off the wacky tobacky. Having no desire to belabor this subject, I’ll just say that his coalition appears to be growing in number. I doubtlessly pray that this is analogous to the flare-up of a candle just before extinction, yet I keep reminding myself that the term “idiot savant” comes to mind when thinking of him. Admittedly, that term applies only halfway to him, which is why I, for one, allege that what our nation needs is more respect for the law, not less. This issue is coming to the fore because Tytoon has spent untold hours trying to inure us to gloomy expansionism. During that time, did it ever once occur to him that his policies are an adjudged failure? It is only when one has an answer to that question is it possible to make sense of his “compromises” because when I say that his tractates are tinctured with ruffianism, this does not, I repeat, does not mean that clever one-liners are a valid substitute for actual thinking. This is a common fallacy held by jaded loonies. I’d like to finish with a quote from a private e-mail message sent to me by a close friend of mine: “Tytoon is a walking time bomb of gangsterism”.

Flippy (Kenn Navarro, Aubrey Ankrum) is a green bear with dog tags, a green beret with checkered crest, and a camo shirt. There is evidence to suggest that he may have fought in the Vietnam War. According to writer Warren Graff, Flippy is mostly based on John Rambo. He rarely appears in the series, most likely due to his repetitive behavior in most of the episodes in which he appears. He lives in an overturned log resembling a quonset hut, a structure used by the U.S. Armed Forces. Flippy is trained in hand-to-hand combat, and has never been seen using guns to kill other characters.
Flippy has a severe case of post traumatic stress disorder. During the war, he was exposed to a chemical known as Agent Orange. Whenever he sees or hears something that he associates with violence or that reminds him of war (e.g., gunshot-like sounds, sharp objects, airplanes or crackling campfires), he goes insane, becomes extremely aggressive and kills everyone around him, because of his evil side. While insane, his eyes turn a different color, his voice changes, and his teeth become sharp. He first developed this aggressive change after facing a life and death state while hiding in the dead body of one of his friends as shown in one of his “war journals”.
Although Flippy can be the most cruel and dangerous character in Happy Tree Friends, his good side is considered to be one of the most sociable and kindest of characters. This is proven in several episodes where he is seen doing social activities with some of the other characters such as going to the movies and playing hide and seek. In the episode, “Hear Today Gone Tomorrow” you get to see his evil side cry. In most of the episodes where he appears, he is shown as friendly and social before he goes crazy, or as many people say “flipping-out.” After he “flips-out”, he does not remember the bloody rampage that follows afterwards. In “Double Whammy”, he finally realizes his problem and goes to Lumpy the psychiatrist for answers. He then removes his ‘evil’ side, but is immediately killed by a chicken truck.
So far, Flippy has killed nearly every character, with the possible exceptions of Splendid and Cro-Marmot. He is often considered to be the most popular character of Happy Tree Friends.

health food is REALLY expensive, diet things..
but vegetarian things suck in the taste
best thing to eat:
rice, beans and meat. with some vegetable or whatever
I’m 45 pounds overweight and I’m sure my problems are almost all in my own head. But cutting past all the usual ‘you suck, fatty’ comments and that every other ad is something “helping” you lose weight or exercise more, there is little real help and in fact more hurt. Not only are “diet” and healthy foods very expensive everything else is getting expensive for the overweight. Prices double for ambulance care if your are over certain weight limits in some areas. It’s likely you’ll soon have to pay more for a plane ticket if you are too fat. And don’t forget health care; I’d be shocked if you don’t pay more for insurance if youa re above a certain weight; BTW, you already do for life insurance.
Being overweight (for the most part) is not the result of eating poorly. It is mostly a result of laziness. Sure, there may be some people with medical problems that preclude them from exercising. But for most people being overweight is a conscious decision. IMO they should have to pay more for health care and life insurance.
LOL. I love running and working out, but I love food too, it definitely balances out – but it balances out at around 180lbs for a 5′5″ female. So my being overweight is a result of eating poorly. But I figure I’m not unhealthy if I can run 6 miles an hour and work out. Just chubs. On the plus side, I don’t look like I weigh 180lbs.
Out of a majority of my family, however (and I started working out and being healthy due to them, it was just in the past year i started consuming everything against better judgement) … are morbidly obese, and they’re so horribly oblivious to it. Most of that side of the family are poor as hell too, I think it goes hand in hand. They definitely do not deserve to pay more… that’s unfair. It’s ignorance on their part and they should not be penalized.
How far do you run?? I am 44, and I balance out around 170 for 5′10″ male.
Eh, generally I run about 4 miles 3x a week at least, it varies greatly on my mood… last week I ran one mile twice, I just couldn’t motivate myself to get up. LOL.
I also walk my dog a mile a day, rain or shine, but she’s only a puppy and can’t go further than that until she’s full grown.
I’m only 24 years old… I was like this when I was 18 also, until I started seriously dieting and measuring everything, after 6 years of that I got bored.
It’s also hard to diet and eat healthy when you live with a partner who doesn’t care about that kind of stuff. Watching him eat a burger while I’m eating salad pisses me off.
At 6 mph, 4 miles for you would be about 40 minutes. Could you do 5 miles instead? Reason why is that the serious fat-burning starts at about the 30 minute mark. Right now you are cutting it off after 10 minutes. The extra mile will give you lots more fat burning. Plus, it’ll give you a hall pass to eat more junk.
Yeah, I used to run more, there are a lot of excuses I could spout here as why I don’t anymore, but it doesn’t matter. xD
Actually the point of my initial comment was that my overweight is definitely not due to the fact that I’m lazy, I’m the most unlazy person I know… I want to murder my tiny skinny friends who don’t work out at all and are like 105lbs.
With age though I’ve stopped caring about my weight and just care that I actually do something. It doesn’t matter to me that I weigh 180lbs, which is why I’m OK telling strangers on the internet, I’m not vainly trying to fix it, and I’m pretty healthy (I think I might have high blood pressure though, WoW and other MMOs make me nerd rage…)
RSV2 is my nerd rage.
Hahaha! Amen to that.
I used to be embarrassed when my dad would throw controllers when I was young, but now I’ve learned why. I only don’t throw them now because I can’t afford to replace. XD
Forgot to say, without the exercise, I would weigh around 210.
I lift weights aggressively – not some crappy 80s aerobics “toning” with a 5lb weight. 30lb dumbbells, 90lb bench press (okay, that’s embarrassing, I know), 50+ leg presses for a couple numbers… not great but it’s something.
I’m also not skinny but heavy (due to muscle), I definitely have a ghetto booty, but I’m not in the XL section of clothing either. Good days I’ll fit in a medium.
How’s that for blowing your mind?
I better not come up with any sarcastic comments to any of your posts. I’d hate for you to hunt me down and kick my @$$!
See, you’re the reason why weight and body shape is a lot of times Bull*hit – you’re obvious very healthy and fit, but you’re by no means twiggy. People need to get their heads out of their as*es that one body type isn’t the ‘perfect’ size.
… you do realize that with many insurance plans, overweight people DO pay a lot more, right? Or might be dropped entirely? Or rejected?
There are lots of causes for weight gain, by the way. A LOT. A person can exercise two hours a day, and still be overweight… even if they don’t have any endocrine or like disorders.
FATTY
Very true!! It is sad that those things that are good for you, cost the most. So, of course, nobody can afford it and we all die a little bit early because we not willing to spend a little bit more to “invest” in our long term health.
I think we have a new record. It’s been a mere 24 days since a graph exactly like this one was published on GraphJam. Why are you people validating its existence by discussing it?
Last time I checked beans, rice, carrots and most fresh veg actually were really cheap. Tofu is way cheaper than meat. Stop with the excuses.
chicken and fish aren’t really out of the question either- I’m a college student, I’m poor, and I can still afford healthy meals. You don’t need to buy things that are LABELED “diet”, “sugar-free”, “low-fat!!”, you just need to learn to use kitchen appliances and buy real food in the first place. Remember back in the day when people cooked things?! The reason a good portion of overweight people are overweight is because they’re “too busy” to cook real meals and work out for 30 minutes a day.
Yeah, but for the price of two good-size plums you can buy a family-sized bag of chips. Yeah, the fruits and veggies can be cheap, but when you’re trying to buy more food the unhealthy stuff tends to be cheaper. For the record, I do my best to eat as well as I can, but that means tightening my belt a bit a couple days before payday.
Ramen, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes are super, super cheap too, which is pretty much what my family grew up on. Bags of chips are more food and cheaper to feed a family of 4, with 2 growing kids, than any fruit.
Oh yeah, feed your kids chips instead of fruit. Go mom and dad! Teach your kids those good eating habits!
For the price of that family sized bag of chips I can buy a 5 lb. bag of potatoes.
It’s only truth in USA.
it is not only true in the US, other countries which previously were thought of as “model dieters” like China have increasingly high obesity rates in the city areas, where McDonald’s restaurants are increasing.
Yes, but that doesn’t make this graph true. Even the cheapest mcdonalds hamburger is more expensive than a lettuce, which is also way bigger. Only you have to cut and wash the lettuce before you can eat it, that’s why people don’t buy it apperantly. Or because it doesn’t taste sweet enough.
The only thing a lot of people care about now is that they have a fulltime job, that they spend a lot of time going out, but they don’t take the time to prepare a proper meal. Which can be done in ten minutes if you want.
Echoing the above sentiment, if you go to the Big Buy Lots of Stuff in Giant Boxes Get It Yourself store, you can get a 10-pound bag of rice for like, eighteen cents, and an equal quantity of a variety of dry beans for about forty cents. An onion, a tomato, a bulb of garlic, I can eat that for months and not get tired of it, and it *almost* contains everything your body needs. Supplement it with some fresh fruit and maybe an occasional salad, pfft, you’re healthy.
win
You forgot hot sauce!!!! D:
Yes!! There must be hot sauce. Preferably Crystal.
umm, the title of this graph and the actual axes do not match up… it is y vs. x… i just do not get how people do not know this… also i guess the idea that the trend would be linear is sort of absurd… finally, veggies are cheaper than meat is so this is really not a good graph at all…
You can also measure the taste of food as being inversely proportional to its healthiness.
Well…. to be honest. Here In germany (and I guess its pretty the same in the usa) healthy food isnt that expensive… funny thing is, if you can cook and know some cool varieties of meals you can live very healthy and save money. I always buy fresh food, never some of these instant things… these gonna make you very sick! And BTW doing exercise is really important to stay healthy but as it seems many people dont take their life serious until they are seriously ill. Thanks 4 reading goodbye and good day
It depends what you’re buying. If you buy a chicke and some veggies and some rice and sauce, you make a healthy and cheap stir fry, as opposed to probably buying a frozen Smart Ones/Healthy Choice/etc. Except when those are on sale… $1 each, $30 for dinner for a month heck yeah!
If you know how how to cook basic healthy food, it’s cheap. There are a ton of cookbooks with cheap healthy recipes. Don’t buy into all the weird ‘healthfood’ crap or processed food – that stuff does cost money. This stuff is healthy and cheap:
Potatoes, brown rice and pasta, wholemeal bread, noodles, tinned tomatoes, tinned tuna, fresh and tinned sardines, chicken thighs or legs, turkey, carrots, onions, big bags of spinach, bunches of garlic, chickpeas and haricot beans (even precooked and tinned are cheap), oats and oatmeal, various seasonal veg, eggs, big tubs plain yogurt, raisins, apples, oranges, bananas.
I basically live off the above. I live in the UK – but this stuff can’t be too expensive is US?
It’s not reasonable to buy most of that for a family though, that’s only somewhat reasonable for a single person or maybe two. You can make a huge pot of spagetti, or mac & cheese, for like $3 (it’s only 80cents, I think, for a box of m&c) for a family of 4 with leftovers. A can of tuna is about $1, frozen chicken… I can’t remember, I think it’s $6 or $8 for 5lbs.
Beans are a really good suggestion though, they’re cheap and healthy for you, but they’re also high quality and dense so ignorant people or people with larger appetitutes need to really beware. The same goes for pasta – whether it’s wholewheat or not.
Well, I’d still call all of the above pretty cheap. Even fairly high-welfare chicken thighs only cost about 30p each. But I suppose if you need to feed a family of five and you have basically NO MONEY AT ALL, you’d have to go the rice, beans and lentils route, if you want it to be healthy.
(I was also going to say that normally asian grocery shops are very cheap – especially for rice and noodles).
Healthy food expensive? WHAT?!
Price of an apple: couple of cents. Same thing for about all vegetables and fruits.
Yes, you do need to spend some time to prepare it. No, you can’t just pop it in the microwave and eat it. No, there are no such things as drive-thru fruit restaurants.
But expensive? Nope, unless you really want to buy not-healthy-but-advertised-as-being-healthy stuff. Full grain pasta, vegetables, chicken, … all very cheap, tasty and good for you.
-Signed, a student on a thight budget that still manages to eat healthy
Apples are cheap. bread is somewhat cheap. Water comes out of the tap. Things do not have to be labeled “OMGHEALTHS!!1!” to be good for you. Go run around the block and have a penut butter sandwhich later. On wheat.
Lol. ‘OMGHEALTHS!!1!’ I’m going to open a healthfood store and call it that.
This is categorically untrue. Processed food (the bad stuff) is more expensive than non-processed foods (the good stuff). If you know how to cook (which you should learn if you don’t), you can make very inexpensive meals for yourself that are healthy.
Processed food that is “healthy” is going to be more expensive than processed food that is “unhealthy”, but both are way worse for you than making something for yourself. Look at the ingredients on a box of Organic Kraft Dinner and you’ll figure that out.
The only time when this graph is correct is when you eat out at chain restaurants. Find a local international food restaurant and you’ll get dirt cheap, high quality food.
I believe this graph represents the fundamental misunderstanding of food that is at the heart of the obesity epidemic in the USA.
This is very sadly true. I was trying to bump up my food healthiness and went to the farmer’s market here–ridiculously expensive.
And the farmer’s market is the ONLY place to get decent healthy food?
Cooking your own food is all well and good, but when you’re single cooking is often a lot more effort than you want to put in when you come home dead tired from work and no one’s going to eat it but you anyway and there’s no one to talk to while you cook. It’s also tougher to make sure you use up that whole head of lettuce or whatever before it goes bad.
So, sometimes it’s nice to have a can of soup or a frozen meal on hand, and the healthy ones really are always more expensive because the companies know you’ll pay for it. Even the baked Lays vs the regular, and why in the world should there be a difference?
a) ‘no one’s going to eat it but you’ is not an excuse.
b)you don’t have to have someone to talk to while you cook. Turn on some music.
c) use more lettuce/buy less
d) having a can of soup/frozen dinner SOMETIMES is perfectly acceptable. More than three times a week is not sometimes.
e) I’m pretty sure there aren’t any HEALTHY frozen dinners out there. HealthIER, sure, but not actively good for you.
f) you don’t need potato chips. Period.
Oh yes, make cooking into some sort of forced labor. That’ll encourage people to eat healthier. I’m trying to explain why someone who wants to eat healthy might still resort to packaged food, not trumpet it as the best wasy to live.
To address your other points specifically:
a) It is when you don’t feel like cooking and no one’s there to care whether you do or don’t.
b) Yes, and music is fine, but many hands make light work and all that, and it’s nice to be social.
c) The problem with vegetables is they very often are sold in fixed quantities, or, if you *can* buy them in small amounts, those amounts actually cost more than just buying a whole head or whatever.
c2) Also, some people live pretty far from the grocery store (think rural communities) and therefore can only make a trip out every two weeks or even every month. They need to stock up on food that will keep. At least they don’t have to buy hardtack.
d) Who died and made you the arbitir of food consumption? And three times out of 21 meals isn’t too bad at all.
e) Actually, there are, especially if you check out some of the pasta options. And it’s a good way to get a meat and a vegetable in without having to cook multiple dishes. Have you even looked in the frozen aisle lately?
f) You do if you want a quick, starchy snack. Yes, there are other possibilities, but you’re not going to get people to change their whole diet all at once, so let them have their craving. It’s baked, anyway. Will you also tell the people buying frozen yogurt that they don’t need ice cream period? They’re taking a step; stop antagonizing them.
I get that – sometimes you’re too knackered to cook (I have M.E, so I really do get it!) I’m not saying Don’t eat ready meals, but personally I find them pretty gross – even the expensive ones. I’d rather eat a sandwich or bowl of cereal.
Here’s a good meal for when ur tired ..
Cook noodles (3 mins) and drain, put back in pan. (Off heat.)
Add half a cup of boiling water and half stock cube.
Grate some ginger into it.
Optional – a handful of frozen shrimp added at the end, just warmed through, and a handful of fresh spinach.
a) ‘no one’s going to eat it but you’ is not an excuse.
b)you don’t have to have someone to talk to while you cook. Turn on some music.
c) use more lettuce/buy less
d) having a can of soup/frozen dinner SOMETIMES is perfectly acceptable. More than three times a week is not sometimes.
e) I’m pretty sure there aren’t any HEALTHY frozen dinners out there. HealthIER, sure, but not actively good for you.
f) you don’t need potato chips. Period.
P.S. – Sorry, forgot to tell you great post!
I think the opposite of this graph is true, cheaper food is usually more healthy, although requires more effort.

Good point there. I was more referring to all the millions of healthy dieting/exercise programs that cost over $9,000, but you’ve made an excellent point.
