Depends on which nuggetyou eat at McDonald’s. Nanner nanner boo boo!
I guarantee a 6 piece classic McNugget with sweet and sour sauce has a better glycemic index, fewer calories, and less fat than sweet and sour chicken with rice at your local chinese restaurant. Or How about chicken and waffles? 6 piece or chicken and waffles with syrup?.. or how about chicken and noodles vs. a 6 piece?,
I taught a girl how to cook a chicken and she thanked me but said, I did good but I accidentally left the packages inside! The Giblets and neck… I told her no big deal and she was very thankful. I loved to cook as a kid. I made cookies and helped with dinner. So many kids today do not even sit at the table for dinner. They eat micro meals on the couch. Dinner together at the table is just a good thing. Also learning the basics of cooking before you leave home.
So true. Many people have to make choices between laundry soap or food. Some only have microwaves. The homeless like food that is not heavy, for obvious reasons. They take bread and pastry over frozen meat.
I myself at one point had a choice to make the rent or eat. I made the rent and ate rice for a month. I bought a 10 pound bag of rice. I was in school and had a car repair. I couldn’t look at rice for a while after that but you do what you have to do. Until I volunteered I did not understand that my idea of poverty was much different then reality. I have never been homeless, dishless, stoveless, clueless on cooking.
I took a lot of things for granted . If your parents never cooked how do you learn? If you lived on junk food how would you know how good fruit and vegetables can be?
That’s just not true. I live on a farm where my husband raises beef cattle, which we sell by the quarter, half, or whole animal. The cows are raised entirely on pasture and hay. I assure you that they are fat and happy. (Also, they taste fantastic. I’m ruined for grocery store beef.)
We have plenty of pasture per head (more than we need, actually; it’s a small herd), which is of course your point. It’s a good one. It’s also a new one to your argument. The original assertion was that it was borderline cruelty to not feed a meat animal grain, which isn’t true. It’s very possible to raise a beef cow very well on pasture only. I agree that, in the modern US, it’s unusual.
Just normal stirfry beef from the supermarket. You can get deals sometimes where it’s around $12/kg but it’s still not cheap and it’s not necessarily the best cuts either.
Chicken breast is around the $18/kg and so it isn’t a lot better IME, either. Sirloin is about $24/kg last time checked.
Yeah, for a country with an insane amount of farming, food costs a fortune here for some reason,
Wow you’re paying a fair bit more than I am. Over here at the market it’s about $14 a kilo for free range skinless chicken breast - $10 if you get it with skin and on the bone (which I do - the skin gets fed to the cats and I freeze the bone to use for stock in the future). I use scotch fillet steak for my stir fries and about $4 worth is enough for 4 decent sized meals when bulked out with vegies. Are you buying the pre-cut meat by any chance?
I do agree that I can never get it to taste quite as good as the local Chinese restaurant!
It costs the same either way, generally- I get whatever is cheapest but the fact is that meat is unconscionably expensive in this country IMHO. $4 worth of meat here would get you enough for four decent sized hamburgers or maybe steak sandwiches, but certainly nothing like a stir-fry.
Holy shit!! that is amazing. I used to bitch at our prices. Chicken breasts at 4 buck a pound i thought was untenable, and sirloin at 5.50(lower grade USDA choice grilling steaks on loss leader, $4.50 select) seemed bullshit.
Please tell me you can at least get lamb cheap because ours is usually Australian(or often New Zealand) for 6 bucks a pound for a bone-in shank that is $22 minimum.
