When I was single, I lived on Hamburger Helper. I ate it in many different variations, and I thought it was great. I would cook it in a small pan and eat from that. I would put it in the refrig after I had eaten, and revisit it the next day. I never got fat, of course I worked out too. So, you buy some ground beef, or even chicken and get some noodles and some sauce, and you got a meal. Spaghetti will go a long way, and it's not that fattening, if you leave off the butter laden bread.

LMAO I just skimmed through the messages, when I saw the thread had exploded, but someone had asked how do you get to be morbidly obese, if you're not eating. Well, they ARE eating - else they'd be dead. You get to be morbidly obese by eating crap instead of food, and you eat crap because you can afford it. To use myself as an example, when I was a poor college student, working my way through college, I had to make $20 stretch a LONG way for food. So of course I bought heart healthy fish at $6 a pound, fresh produce, nuts and fruits... NOT. A pound of "Scrap-O-Crap" brand hot dogs costs only 79 cents and makes the "meat" portion of 8 "meals." A pack of Ramon noodles (I still love those things! - I just now eat them rarely, and with caution. :-) costs only 10 cents.. So for 20 cents - VOILA! Pasta with Meat Pennys! A complete meal in itself! During college I gained 30 pounds, and If I had continued to eat like that I'd be... well, I'd be dead, actually, but before I died, I too would have achieved my true Jabba potential. That doesn't excuse or explain everyone, of course, but still, it's much easier to be fat when you're poor, then when you're rich. (Which has been true for probably about 40 years, and in Western countries - for all the rest of human history and the world, it was reversed.) -- No virus found in this incoming message.
