I was curious what this "$3 meal" was from, and it's basically an "economical" breakdown of the cheapest possible "meal" someone in the US could eat. They did their "research" and decided that the cheapest, most nutritional meal a person in the US could eat was three bites of chicken, one single piece of broccoli, an actual mini tortilla, and "one other thing" which was never really specified in the article.

This is a fuckin joke.

I hope the other thing is some sort of lubricant because that is dry as fuck

That looks horrible. I don't even want to imagine the taste. And for 3 dollars I am quite sure none of those things are remotely healthy!

I really thought all them evil foreigners would have produced more than one flavor, I thought late-stage-capitalism was all about innovation™!!
