Can New Yorkers survive on just $4 a day? | New York Post

[Airborneguy]

I made the right choices and worked hard when I was younger because this is a question I knew I never wanted to have to answer.

it's not a laughing matter, first of all.

Its really more like $12 per day, because each meal costs $4 per serving.

I could do it, but it would not involve all those ridiculously work intensive recipes.

2 eggs in morning $.30...slice of cheap white toast $.05
Ramen for lunch $.25
Banana snack from vendor $.25
pasta and/or chicken quarter for dinner $2
or
1 can Goya black beans, pureed...$.80


The Seagram's 7 is going to be hard to work in though.


(Silliest part of the article was the stupid broth made from corn cobs, when store bought broth was actually $5. I'm surprised she didn't suggest grass soup instead. The corn soup is RIDICULOUSLY protein deficient and provides nothing but calories.

I guess you'd need to budget a multi-vitamin a day to avoid nutritional deficiency.

Not bad for something that began as a class project to help those on food
stamps — $4 a day is the approximate food budget allocated New Yorkers on public
assistance — cook up tasty, nutritious meals.

Only some paper as vulgar as THE POST could publish this kind of class-warfare claptrap. Let's make Rupert Murdoch, aka Marie Antoinette, eat this $4 a day semi-starvation slop, until he croaks.

I wasn't intending to be rude by putting a laughing icon, it was laughing at the sheer madness if it all. I certainly was not laughing or mocking people.
