Comment on U.S. Pedestrian Deaths Up 77% Since 2009 & The Auto Industry Knew It Would Happen
Digit@lemmy.wtf 2 days agoDuring the time I was most impoverished, I survived (certainly not thrived) on eating mostly moong dal (mung bean kernels and rice ~ combined, they create a complete protien ~ or could use just hempseed/kernels (which would be cheap if we all grew it prolifically like we did a century ago before Bernays, Anslinger and Hearst messed us up)). About 10x cheaper than processed food. Moong dal was not ideal for my constitution and ailments, but 100x to infinitely healthier than replacing food with junk. There be cheap ways to eat healthy food. Just takes a little more thought and strategizing than just taking the cheap plastic wrapped junk. Sympathies for suffering the system that robs us of time and that little cognitive capacity to so strategize better. Every little effort to cease succumbing to it, the better.

Yeah lots of folks do what you did and I think there’s a kind of rugged individual thinking in that. Which is really favored in America but lots of people just do what the people around then do to. So if everyone eats chicken nuggies and tater tots and cheeseburgers then that’s what you eat. Have you made kitchari? It’s really hearty and good rice and dal. I just made a rice and dal and mirepoix lamb stew the other day. I was winging it though and it did come out super tasty, I kinda messed up the salt ratio I think. But it was hearty af, just kinda bland

Thanks. The very word for it. I forgot that. Thanks. Yeah.
A little ghee, and a scrimp of meat and veg in with it, and it can go far, for cheap.
Ayurveda has a lot of savvy for how to make things (very) tasty, satiating, and healthy. A balance of all six tastes, tweaked for dosha. Good stuff.
