A lot of people work jobs and don't have time to cook every day or have their wife and their mom making dinner.
And rice has pretty much no nutritional value, and the starch metabolizes to sugar, which is just empty weight gain. Fruits and vegetables are expensive.
there is plenty of time to cook. my wife and i both work. i got home last night and put 2 cups of rice in a rice cooker, sliced up some onions to put in it, added water and salt, and turned it on for about 15-20 minutes.
waited about 10 minutes and while that was cooking, i pulled out some pork chops and put some salt on them. cooked them for 3 minutes on 1 side, then 2 minutes on the other side.
dinner was ready in about 18 minutes.
if you don't want rice, get brown rice or some canned green beans. green beans are like .99 - 1.39 a can, depending what kind you get and when you get them. still dirt cheap and you could cook those + a piece of meat in about 10 minutes total.
you're telling me people don't have 18 minutes a day to make food? they probably would take longer than that going to mcdonalds and waiting in the drive through window.
fruit is expensive? you can get like 6 big ass apples for $4 or $5. but at mcdonalds that will get your 4 or 5 apple pies instead!
you are making excuses and are in denial just like the lazy ass fat people who want to blame everyone but themselves. i'm sure your response will continue to keep the excuses flowing.
