    I was curious what this “$3 meal” was from, and it’s basically an “economical” breakdown of the cheapest possible “meal” someone in the US could eat. They did their “research” and decided that the cheapest, most nutritional meal a person in the US could eat was three bites of chicken, one single piece of broccoli, an actual mini tortilla, and “one other thing” which was never really specified in the article.

    This is a fuckin joke.

    That looks horrible. I don’t even want to imagine the taste. And for 3 dollars I am quite sure none of those things are remotely healthy!
