Show me a fast food that's more efficient in "full and sustained vs. cost" than lentils or rice.
Show me someone who doesn't know an apple is healthier than a cheeseburger and I'll eat my hat. And an apple prepare time is approx. 0 minutes. Same thing with most raw fruits and veggies, and actually, the same with lunch meats, cheeses, and most grains (crackers, serials, etc.). One could easily live on cheap foods that require no preparation and be totally healthy. What's faster, waiting for a #5 at McDonalds or grabbing a pear, crackers and lunchmeat on the way out the door or at the market?

I don't know Will, if you don't live near a grocery store and the nearest food place is a convenience store. You'll find that it's more expensive. It's really simple. I've provided evidence, you've provided opinion.
