      • And thats the real problem with decision based moralizing. My wants and actions havent really changed - in a loud mouth chatty hedonist with a chip on his shoulder. My wife is like 80% responsible for my life being awesome and 20% is me not doing enough to **** it up

          • Would food insecure insecure cover both those who inflate the numbers of food insecure because they are afraid the numbers aren't high enough, and those who are afraid to address the numbers who actually are food insecure because they are too high?

            • HC, eat this and only for 6 days straight - One box of stag chili, one cup of rice, shredded jack cheese, tapatio hot sauce to taste. I lived in a house with 4 other guys because it was 300 dollars a month in rent but the ability to cook and have food not go rancid in the fridge made my diet like regexcellents but worse. I was lethargic, not always "with it", and always hungry. I had student loans that ate up a lot of my minimum wage income.

              On the 7th day you can go get a burger or a burrito for 5 bucks because you earned it dude.
              Try potatoes for a month with hotdogs. This is my usual diet with the Sundays being a whataburger. Except add veggies as the rice replacement. Works ok for me, but then I'm also not a big guy.

                  China overtakes US to be biggest economy by 2024

                  A surge in Chinese consumer spending will help the country overtake America to become the world's biggest economy by 2024, according to a new report.

                  The US, which has held the crown as the world's economic powerhouse for more than a century, is expected to slip behind China in the global rankings amid a three-fold rise in consumer spending to $10.5 trillion (£6.5 trillion) over the next ten years, from $3.5 trillion today.

                          True. But hunger-denial is probably worse than being a misogynist.

                            They've apparently already overtaken you on GDP (PPP).

                            • But GDP in this case is an illusion; it reflects money being shifted around, nothing more. Local bosses get promoted by using big projects to artificially inflate GDP figures.
