@drsarahballantyne: Replying to @ainoaiiris8 Let’s take a closer look at this budget-friendly meal, feeding a family of four for $5. Technical notes for ultra nutrient nerds: I approximated the yellow rice as enriched white rice with a little bit of turmeric. I had to reverse engineer the pork and beans using a copycat recipe online, and matching the macros on the can’s nutrition facts label as closely as possible. @Chef Moe #nutrivore #budgetmeals #budgetfriendly

With all due respect to the man and his beautiful work, but the food is completely unhealthy

It’s a lot of sodium for one meal. But that’s to be expected. But if you’re aware of that, keep yourself hydrated and try to maintain a healthy weight and exercise regularly… should be ok

People don't realize that if you're using $5 to feed an entire family, it's not about maximizing nutrient density. It's about feeding your children so they don't starve. This is HEALTHY FOOD in the context of the alternative being starvation. If I were a parent, I'd rather my kids have too much sodium and sugar from dinner than go to be hungry.

Yay I’m so glad you did this for Chef Moe! People are too quick to dismiss his meals as something unhealthy because it’s processed, but 1) fed is best and 2) even if you don’t need to do $5 meals, it’s important to know that/how you can get nutrition in ways other than just fruits and veggies, because not everyone has them available to them or likes them.

I honestly thought you were going to trash him for using budget/fast foods… I was pleasantly surprised! This man is saving lives by sharing his talents and knowledge for free!

I’ve noticed his meals also don’t require you to have a bunch of seasoning, milk, oil, etc that are considered staples in the kitchen but some people don’t have because they can’t afford them. I’m grateful that I do not need to use his meals but I love that he finds a way to help people who need it.

Thank you for not bashing this man. He does such a good thing for low income and food insecure families. I’m sure this video will help the ones making this meal feel more confident about serving it to their families.

I'd put two tablespoons of butter in that. salt free because it's already going to be salty as fuck. one more dollar for biscuits and that's some Pofolks.
