Tuna is also not something you should eat everyday, you can and will get mercury poisoning. Couple times a week I believe is the recommended maximum, and for some tuna variants like bluefin you should avoid entirely or at least strictly limit consumption.

Not just bread, but roses, too!

Eat your rice and tuna and be happy with it, the executives need their bonus

Where the F is he seeing these prices? Where I'm at that bag of rice is like $2 and cans of store brand tuna is $1.50. Fish is no longer a poor person's food. The cost has gone up dramatically.
ChloeRed
Sainsburys in the UK, hence the prices in pence...
ZackWester
wait a sec 52p for 1 kilo of budget rice... oh man that expensive.
QuanticChaos
Tuna is nearly $4 a can where I am now, 6 years ago it was 65¢ a can, now I rarely eat it.
sadurdaynight
This. Fish has skyrocketed in price.

Yes?

This is why you are better off not being on Xitter. It is full of entitled fascist cunts.
OneUniverse
Yeah Shane it's a shame you have to eat your dog, before you qualify for food stamps.
khora
I mean, this is what bodybuilder channels would recommend.
FirstInLastOut
He probably eats like that too
cambriago13
I certainly hope so.

I was able to survive on rice and beans for weeks. Doesn't mean that it's a healthy diet

Eating nothing but starch and fish is why sailors used to get scurvy.

Golden age!

There are plenty people who have such a little amount of money that they can't afford both of those things, or if they can then it will have to last them the entire week.
SilverFoxChaser
Those items are like 14 dollars in the US.

My brother in Christ you can get a 25 lb bag of Homai Calrose rice from Costco delivered to your door for $18.
SoThatsWhere
Costco isn't an option for everyone. Nor is buying in bulk, if you can't safely store it for long. That said, from my local walmart, 5 lb of store brand white rice is $3.67. One can of StarKist chunk light tuna in oil is $1.14. My local grocery store sells a pound of enriched long grain white rice for a dollar, and $1.25-1.58 for the same can of tuna depending on if it's on sale, though the local dollar general has it for $1.20 if I want to risk a car accident turning out of their parking lot.

It's the clown emoji that bothers me. Mocking people for being impoverished is plain evil.
witless1
The clown emoji is fitting.

Let them eat rice.

Cooking and eating the slow way is more than a little harder when you've got three part-time jobs and also you have to do your travel and laundry and dishes and ironing and maintenance and more all the slow way.
noReallyIamPrincessBob
What do you mean cooking and eating ‘the slow way’?
dashers
You'll have to excuse my ignorance here as I'm fortunate enough to only have one full time job. I cook with rice frequently, is the 15mins it takes for something with rice not a feasible thing? What is the fast way of cooking?
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
When you're working 80+ hours per week, don't have a working stove or refrigerator, and the only thing you want to do when you get home is sleep, it's a big ask to expect people to spend the time to prepare something like this.
dashers
What do these people do instead? Is it common not to have a stove or fridge?
ChloeRed
I know a few people who's only cooking device is a microwave oven.
wandermanspacebot
It's just pointing out that some of us grew up broke and know how to be broke. Which is true.
medimr
People like this probably can't comprehend the sort of despair you can fall into if you have no choice but to eat rice and tuna every day for the foreseeable future. But then, he was probably one of the "empathy is a sin" assholes, so it makes sense that other people's suffering means nothing to him.
strawberrycocoa
Those people need a year or two in a cell with bread and water and nothing else. Same treatment they wish upon us.
FckleberryFarms
These idiots think poor, starving people are going to go die in a ditch and not rob their houses.
InnerBushman
While the truth is poor starving people are desperate, so they'll DEFINITELY rob their houses first, before they did.
TinaEveFox
I've figured out how to eat almost everything I get at the food bank every 2 weeks. It's a lot of rice and lentil soup. Even last night I had a bowl of rice for my supper. I'm fucking sick of it and it drives me mental having to eat the same shit every day.
afterdarkart
I am very lucky and make a healthy income, but, I was raised on my Dad's death benefits, SSI, the church food shelf, and my pastor who routinely dropped off food for me and my Mom. I will never forget where I came from and those who literally fed me along the way. I'd love to find this person and bounce their head off the shelves until they get it.
BananaForScaIe
Week two on ramen, sigh.

Empathy is evolution. I really hope evolution wins.
BerryButcher
.............i eat rice everyday because i like rice...
medimr
Hence the "have no choice" part.
zanaria
Admittedly there are various ways you can make rice, though they all require something else. Like rice with mushroom soup is pretty good.
BlueDsc
Rice is actually a great budget food because of just how many different things you can do with it. Though, even as a person that has rice dishes almost daily, just rice and tuna every day would probably have me put a bullet in my head sooner than later.
zanaria
Yeah, I can eat the same thing several days in a row, but ONLY that for weeks and months would suck seriously...
ZackWester
Yep... Oh now I want to link the science report on how few ingridiences one need to make a varied meal that you can eat for years whit out getting food fatighe or missing nutrients. and the amount was not supper high, problem is Rice + 2 more items is not really cutting it.
AdmiralButtStuff
Shane needs to spend more time being savagely beaten about the face and neck with cricket bats.
Chooseausernameandyoureallset
Because when you say something someone doesn't agree with you should also be savagely beaten about the face and neck with cricket bats? Or are you special?
AdmiralButtStuff
Chooseausernameandyoureallset
Not bait. I'm just pointing out what a sad little hypocrite you are. And saying that maybe the stick you say others should be beaten with should be used against you. Golden rule and all that, right?
I mean, who's sensitive enough to call for someone to be beaten for taking pictures prices in a supermarket? Oh, wait. My bad.
You can sit in the corner and think about why you're not better.
LuminoZero
Yeah, lick that boot. Yum.
Chooseausernameandyoureallset
I'm sorry about those feelings. Maybe you should take a nap.
