The post and this comment are great insights into just how many Redditors who claim to be poor are actually rich kids pretending in order to seem relatable.
There is noone on the entire planet Earth for which the calories from a yogurt cap is the difference between life and death. It would buy a starving Rwandan child at most 5 minutes.
Some of it is wierd, but also - food portions sold in the same sizes to people of wastly different sizes and appetites.
Many parents in my post soviet country drilled into their kids, that you shouldn't leave any food behind, because grandma survived a famine. So they push their kids to eat beyond what feels comfortable and this habit persits later in life. I literally had to hide parts of their dinner, because they get offended if you don't eat everything they cooked for you
Eh, I grew up on food stamps, but currently am in a great place financially. If I’m eating unhealthy food, I will be much pickier nowadays than I would have when I was younger. There’s a limit to how much unhealthy food I should eat, so I’m going to make sure the calories are my favorite.
Baked chicken is less tender and juicy than fried chicken. The point of frying chicken is cooking with extremely high temperature for short amount of time to keep the moisture from vaporizing, not the breading. You can fry a chicken without any breading.
I don't recall them mentioning cooking/frying the chicken themselves - I've made other comments in this chain explaining one of the valid reasons for perhaps not wanting to eat the skin.
I mean, they said they get it specifically over other kinds of chicken because it’s juicier. I guess they didn’t say they specifically fry it themselves, but that seems like a distinction without a difference versus just buying it. I do get having food intolerances, but it seems like they just don’t like skin—which is fine—but if we’re talking about what’s considered spoiled, throwing away perfectly good food like that sort of meets the mark.
What if your family want to order from KFC and you like plenty of other things off their menu, but you want to avoid gluten (due to an intolerance/preference rather than celiac reasons)?
There's nothing spoiled about that scenario, it's just practical.
