The most effective way we can fight back against this rotten ass system is to:

1) Do not consume their propaganda (e.g. TV, movies, news)

2) Do not consume their peasant slop (e.g. fast food, processed foods)

3) Do not sit on your ass. Exercising is literally free you cheapskate assholes.

I hope this clarifies the situation we find ourselves in.

Sad part is she has to pay for her own health insurance.

About $600/mo

This, I can make 8 burritos at home with
1 lb. of hamburger,
1 can of refried beans,
1 package of mix (or use your own spices, do that too)
1 onion,
1 small pkg. of shredded cheese,
1 can of enchilada sauce,
1 pkg. of tortillos for:

$12.00 approx.

Doesn't take that long.

*If you add rice, you can stretch the meat and cheese and make like 12, so $1 each.

A standard serving of ground beef is 4 oz, and who can't eat two burritos?
 Quoting: BRIEF


1/8th oz of meat + 1/8 oz of beans and cheese is 1/4 lb.+ That's equivalent to a quarter pounder. I didn't say anything about how many to eat. Eat 1, 2, 3, 4, whatever, mine are bigger than the ones you get at Taco Hell, just saying, for $1.00.

Truck driver here. Eating at McDonalds cost around 20 bucks a meal. To get full. I can eat at a sit down steak house. Ribeye steak potatoes and with salad bar for 16 bucks. Well no shake but better food. lol

It better food most of the time but you have to have time to sit down and you have to tip. Many times people are short on time. Anyway people pay for convenience. You want it fast then you have to pay for that.

Re: did you ever think 4 items at taco bell would cost $20?
sometimes I'm on the run and I have to get fast food. You get tired of the same old stuff all the time so occasionally I'd stop at Taco Bell. However, the last couple of times it was $12-14 for 3 items.

Yesterday I went to the local good steakhouse and got a 8oz top sirlon with soup, bread, and a side for $16. Sure, I gave the waitress a $6 tip (both my wife and I ate lunch there); but for just a few dollars more I'd much rather eat there than Taco Bell.

The local Mexican restaurant is $13 for most of their larger meals...I ate there Saturday night. Tortillas, steak strips (enough to make 4 tacos), cheese enchilada, beef taco, rice and beans...plus the chips and salsa that come out at the beginning.

Way better deal than Taco Bell

Safeway/WalMart take your pick --- 1 pound grass-fed organic beef, less than 6 dollars (today, not sure about next week). That's for 3 one-third pound patties. OK then about $6 (a little less at Wally's) for a wonderful 16-ounce tray (plastic container) of mixed organic greens - kale, spinach, lettuces, etc.). Pick up some banas, blue- and blackberries, a tomato or two, onion/sprouts/whatever turns you on here, a loaf of organic bread is one option, or burger buns (harder to find organic buns). make it a couple pounds of beef and you've got lunch for at least three days for approximately ten bucks/day. A little more if you go heavier than this on the produce, which you should.

You'll live longer, have less medical expenses, and suport those who are doing their part to cater to your better self.

It's called "convenience". You're correct but nobody wants to drive home to cook lunch in the middle of a town trip.

I stopped by one a few weeks ago to get some items, I seen they had a double steak burrito for $6.79 without tax which would be over $7 with tax.

 Quoting: THX 1138


A lot of restaurants/breweries etc now seemingly have no napkins/paper towels anywhere….not in the bathrooms, not on the bar tops, not even if you ask for one. I once spilled beer on my lap at a local brewery, and when asking the beertender for a napkin, they handed me a wet bar towel. Not to mention the air blowers in the bathrooms that just blow the water off your hands onto the floor, for someone to eventually slip on. I don’t think we are too far away from the three sea shells.

Taco Bell has always been expensive unless you order from their loss leaders which right now it the Nacho Fries Box at $5.99 or Deluxe Nacho Fries Box $7.99 or their $1 value menu. Clearly you chose to not save money. This is your bad. Not Taco Bell's

Yeah, soft taco went from 1.19 to 1.69, a taco supreme is 2.49 and you need at least 4 for a "dinner". "Fast food is cheap" is a fallacy.


And in most major cities you can find a grocery store that will make something better for you for much cheaper. In NYC, I can get a grilled chicken wrap that I can barely finish for 9 bucks.

For $30 (MAXIMUM) you can create a taco feast for a whole family. Prep time from getting home from the supermarket, to serving, should not be more than 45 minutes, I've done it in 20.
