If you know my main page, Rapaholics, you know we're typically talking rap beef. Well, today we've got a different type of beef on the menu, and I am fired up. All right.
Don't you love? Don't you just love when in the midst of the greatest technological revolution we've seen to date, we combine that with what could be the cause of the next World War, and then all that gets cluster smashed into one of the most unstable housing markets and economies we've ever seen. Then we quadruple down on the fact that the political state of the world has potentially reached peak division. Everyone's screen time is egregiously high. No one gets outside enough. And yet somehow no one can even afford to be inside because inflation has made rent and groceries unaffordable. But somehow we can still all take a moment to pause the absurdities of this world just to get a good chuckle out of the fact that fast food CEOs are basically mocking us. Huh? Yes, that's what this is. It's a competition or a challenge between the ultra wealthy who never step foot in these slot producing factories that we call fast food restaurants. And they're basically trying to outdo one another on who can actually stomach this vile food the best.
I used to go to the Dominican Republic with my family for vacation. And they would always tell you, do not drink the water in the bathroom sinks. Your stomach is not used to it. It will make you incredibly sick. I like to compare what we're seeing with all these fast food CEOs to as if me and my siblings had a competition on who could drink the most toxic waters from those resorts. All right, laughing hysterically as each of us struggle to take, you know, these tiny little sips, testing the limits of our stomachs, that's exactly what these CEOs are doing.
Now, before we get into the whole spectacle of CEOs of fast food companies struggling to eat their own meat and making a meme out of the fact that each CEO was more repulsed with their product than the last. I actually want to bring you guys something a little more concerning. All right, I was watching a video a couple days before this whole spectacle went down by a really good YouTuber by the name of I'm going to butcher the pronunciation of this, but I think it's Kiana Doerty. She was talking about the McRib, which is an exclusive sandwich that McDonald's brings around a couple times a year. It appears to be a rack of baby back ribs sandwiched between two pieces of bread. I used to have it as a kid. It was delicious. But for the longest time, no one has known what's actually in it. And that became a whole meme of its own. Like, what the hell is this, you know, exclusive mystery meat that McDonald's brings around once in a blue moon?
>> What did you say this was again?
>> McDonald's calls it the McRib sandwich.
>> McRib? I don't see any bones.
>> Hey, who wants bones in a sandwich?
In her videos, she explains that it's very likely that the McRib and some of McDonald's other sandwiches are actually made from what you would call restructured meat or restructured pork. In the McRibs, it's basically like when you're butchering an animal, you'll get these like little trimmings and scraps, like tiny little pieces left over after like the larger like higher quality cuts of the meat are cut off the animal. So think like the shoulder or some small muscle scraps left on the bones or some fatty pieces or some skins and connective tissues or you know, they might even get as gross as putting like parts of the heart, parts of the animal's stomach, meat from different organs within the animal. So they take all this like leftover garbage meat and then they grind it, they flake it and they chop it up into very small particles. Then all these leftover meat pieces or particles are mixed with water and salt to extract proteins that act like a natural meat glue that binds all the meat particles together so the mixture can be compressed and molded into a specific shape. Think about baloney. Think about different deli meats. Think about how the McRib has this like perfect shape. Like it almost looks like an actual rack of ribs with the bones inside of it.
>> I don't see any bones.
>> Hey, who wants bones in a sandwich? That's because they're just taking leftover scraps of like the worst part of the animal, gluing it all together. Then they could basically mold it like this meaty play-doh into any shape that they want. This restructured meat technology, this was originally developed by the US Army to turn cheap meat trimmings into food for soldiers and it was later adopted by the pork industry and then it was pitched to McDonald's which led to the McRibs launch in 1981. There was actually a lawsuit filed against McDonald's that claimed that the McRib sandwich may include parts of the pork like the shoulder, the heart, the tripe, or the stomach. However, McDonald's denies those specific organs and only states that the patty is 100% pork.
Now, this is where the problem is. Food labeling laws only require companies to list the animal source, meaning that McDonald's does not have to disclose which parts of the pig are used. They just got to say it's 100% pork. Meaning the meat could legally come from various cuts or trimmings all across that animal's body. They don't legally have to tell you what part of the pig you're eating. They just got to say it's pork. Now, you know, don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean that the meat is poison or anything like that. It's just disgusting.
>> Hey, something traumatic happened that changed my life. Check.
Now, in case you missed it, that last video was someone who posted the inside of the chicken fillet on their chicken sandwich, same sandwich as this, and asked, "Why is this meat so disgusting?" So, fast food restaurants look for ways to keep their costs down. And one way they can do that is reconstituted or restructured meat. Chances are, you've probably already eaten restructured meat, especially if you've had a chicken nugget. It doesn't come off the chicken that way. They take real meat and they turn it into emulsion and then they'll put it into a mold so it has that natural looking shape. And sometimes they add binders or extenders like soy so that they can make it more cost effective. Also, it's not a secret. They'll happily disclose this on their ingredients list. Other times you've had restructured meat, most of the stuff in your deli section. That turkey loaf does not come off the turkey in that shape. Restructured meat. Classic example. Even more classic example. I hope that helps you be able to enjoy your next sandwich. I'm going to show you a clip later. You'll see the burger in action, that McDonald's burger, how it could sit for like literally months on end and not get any mold on it. That's a different problem in and of itself. But I wanted to bring up a separate point.
See, I was in the States for a couple weeks this winter. I'm from Canada, and I went to Publix, the grocery store. I got this bread. And speaking of the moldy McDonald's burger, this bread that I got from Publix, right, this bread did not lose its softness. It did not age, no joke, for an entire week sitting on my counter. It was as if I just picked it up from the grocery store. And like when I go to the bakery next to my house that like makes the bread fresh that day, I'll bring it home. It's only good for 3 days before you start seeing mold on it. That's normal. So I look at the ingredients on this bread. There's like 100 ingredients. I go back to the Publix. Every single bread also has 100 freaking ingredients. I take a picture of the ingredients. I send it to Chad GBT. I say, "Tell me why there are so many ingredients in this bread. And are any of these ingredients actually toxic?" And sure enough, one of the top ingredients on that bread, potassium bromate. It's a flour additive that's used in bread sometimes to strengthen the dough to help give it a lighter texture. Hence why the thing felt so soft like for days on end. And then when I would put it in the toaster, it would suddenly like dry up almost like a sponge. Anyways, yeah, that ingredient, the potassium bromate that's used to, you know, make the bread feel, you know, more airy, that ingredient is classified as a possible human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. And different animal studies actually showed that at certain exposure levels, this chemical can cause kidney and thyroid tumors. And why me being a Canadian was probably so shocked at seeing and feeling this bread. You know that Ray J skit about the glasses that don't break? Yeah, this bread does not mold. They're unbreakable.
>> Unbreakable.
>> They're unbreakable. Break them.
>> Step on it right now.
>> No, you step on them.
>> It's your product.
>> You step on them. Go ahead.
>> Speedy. Step on them.
>> I can't do that.
>> You kidding?
>> Don't tell me these are unbreakable. Don't challenge me. Listen. Don't challenge me. Ra. Listen, Speedy. They're unbreakable. They cannot break. It's impossible.
that potassium bromate chemical, it's actually banned in Canada and it's banned in the European Union and it's also banned in places like Brazil, China, and India. However, in the United States, it's still allowed if the final baked product only contains very small residual amounts. And mind you, this was like the premium bread like behind the desk where they actually like bake everything fresh that day, right? So, you can only imagine the ingredients in like those Wonderbread type of breads that you buy in like that that whole aisle with all the like chemically processed cheaper bread. Yeah. All that stuff has a list of ingredients longer than the writing credits on a Drake album. If you guys know his history with Ghost Writers, you know what I'm talking about. It's very long.
>> Spicy.
And that entire trip to America, honestly, it really concerned me. Maybe I'm just soft. I don't know. But I I constantly felt bloated when I was there. And I don't have the best diet in Canada or when I was in America, but like it was a different feeling I was feeling. I don't know how to explain it. And I'm just concerned for you guys. I know, you know, a lot of you guys are probably in America. Maybe I'm overreacting here. Maybe I'm being a grocery car, right? But I don't know, man. All this stuff kind of scares me. And I hate to bring, you know, so much doom and gloom to a video that should probably just be, you know, lighthearted and funny. But yeah, that trip to Florida that I I was bloated for for like 2 and 1/2 weeks, it concerned me a little bit. and then reading that ingredient on the bread. I don't know if you guys are doctors or something like, comment down below. I'm just some idiot yapping on a microphone, right?
>> I study rapaholics
>> for a living.
>> I am the CEO of this YouTube empire where we discuss everything from Drake's ghost riders to pork trimmings that get glued together to become a meat play-doh that McDonald's can profit off of. But speaking of real deal CEOs, and speaking of McDonald's, let's talk about the CEO of McDonald's. All right, we'll review it all, but I I just want you guys to know who have been keeping up with the whole, you know, fast food battle saga here. The McDonald's CEO has actually been recording videos of himself subliminally letting the world know that he doesn't actually ever eat the food that his company produces or the product his company produces as he calls it. Yeah, he doesn't call it food, he calls it a product. That should let you know like what he thinks of the crap that you're putting in your stomach. So, check it out, you guys. This clip was from September 2023, so almost 3 years ago. our boy Chris K, the CEO of McDonald's. He was documenting himself picking up McDonald's new products or actually, you know, old products in this case. And we see him travel around with this thing like it's a briefcase cuz again, it's a product. But the only thing we don't see him do is actually eat the freaking Egg McMuffin.
All right, made it to work about 8:30. Typical day. Ready to go and get my morning breakfast order. So, let's go get it. Ah, it's already here. We are ready to have breakfast. Love it. Up on the eighth floor. Who do we have here? Everybody meet Patty.
>> Morning.
>> Patty. How long have we worked together?
>> Seven years.
>> The seven greatest years of your life. I'm sure you say that every day. So, let's go into the office now and enjoy this Egg McMuffin. Here we go. Ready to enjoy an Egg McMuffin? check the scores on ESPN and get my day started. Listen.
All right. This video is coming from someone who remembers the days when a McDouble was a $1.30. All right. Back in my day, Sunny boy, you had a $5 bill. And I'm talking a Canadian $5 bill, not even a US one. That was getting you like two McDoubles, one junior chicken. If you're Canadian, you know what a junior chicken is. It was getting you a small fry and it was getting you a drink. $5. Yes. So, the fact that today we got this new Big Arch burger. It's kind of like a spin-off of the Big Mac with a slightly different sauce, some crispy onions in it, a different type of cheese, and a patty as big as the quarter pounder, which I think is actually bigger than the patties in the Big Mac combined. Now, I haven't seen this burger yet in Canada, but I'm hearing that in the US, this is a $12 burger. So, I I bring all this previous stuff up in this video to say, guys, like I know times are hard. I know it's not easy to, you know, budget not just, you know, affordable groceries, but also meals that can be, you know, prepared or or digested in a time-efficient manner, but I'm sorry if we've gotten to the point where a McDonald's burger cost you $12, they've almost made it easy for you to substitute this slop for actual clean food, right? Like when you pull up to McDonald's today, the weight for your food will on average take as long as it would at your local sandwich shop. And now with this new burger they're putting out costing you $12, it's basically the same price as a sandwich from your local shop. So to me, like there's no point in eating this junk anymore. And it looks like the CEO of McDonald's agrees with me because when he tries to try this product, I mean, you can see the struggle in his eyes and in his mouth. All right, it's like that Spongebob episode where Squidward is like trying his hardest not to like take a real bite of the Krabby Patty. Like this guy is doing the exact same thing with the burger. And a real subtle detail in the clip you'll notice is that he actually does not finish chewing by the time the video ends. So, who knows, maybe this is an even bigger conspiracy than we thought to the point where the CEO didn't actually swallow and ingest this product that he's the CEO of that he struggles to take a bite out of.
Chris K here with you've heard about it. Here it is. The big arch. This is something that we have tested already. It's in Portugal, Germany, Canada. I love this product. It is so good. I'm going to do a tasting right now, but I'm gonna eat this for my lunch, just so you know. So, here we go. First, holy cow. God, that is a big burger. We've got a very unique kind of sesame poppy sort of bun on it. We've got two quarter pound patties, a delicious big arch sauce, and of course, some lettuce. So, oh, there's so much going on with this. First of all, let's try to get this thing. I don't even know how to attack it. Got so much to it. Oh, there's also some crispy onions on here as well. I see those kind of coming out. All right, the moment of truth. That is so good. That's a big bite for a big arch. It's distinctively McDonald's. Only McDonald's could do this type of burger, but it also is unlike anything else on our menu. It's a delicious product. You know, you've got sort of the cheeses and the gooness. Uh but those crispy onions as well gives a nice texture. And of course, we've got the pickles. So, uh I'm going to enjoy the rest of my lunch, but Big Arch, try it when you can get it.
Okay, I messed up. It it looks like he swallowed the thing, but there's a cut in the edit of the video. So, it's like he's chewing it and then all of a sudden you see that they, you know, cut the video and then all of a sudden he's not chewing anymore, but it's not like you ever actually see the guy swallow the thing. All right. Yeah, I might be going nuts over this. Okay. I'm not usually a big conspiracy guy, but I genuinely believe this man is not eating his product and never does. And he has an entire Instagram page dedicated to different videos like this. He's been doing this stuff for years. All right, it just blew up today. But like he's been on the grind for years pretending to eat this food for these Instagram videos and no one's caught on, I guess, that that he never actually eats it.
So of course, after that, you got the Burger King CEO who stepped in. And I mean, don't get me started on Burger King, you guys. All right, you want like some seasoned cardboard sandwiched in between the most mid bun you've ever had, you go to Burger King. All right, but I don't know if they had them in the US, but they used to have these like chicken fries. It was just like French fry shaped chicken nuggets. Incredible. They also had 20 nuggets for $3 at Burger King. Lord knows what they're putting in those nuggets to make them that cheap, but I was eating them all the time. All right, student budget. But yeah, our buddy over at Burger King, he looked like he was enjoying his burger. But it's so performative. All right, guys. So performative. This thing, this whole thing. I mean, take a look at the clip. Like the freaking CEO, he's he's acting like he just ate like a homemade burger fresh off the grill when he's like three beers deep with his boys. Music's blasting. They're in the sun. Cookout vibes are immaculate. And they're just like grilling patties one after the other. Real meat. That's the reaction that this CEO tries to give off.
>> Not bad, right?
>> Only one thing missing, a napkin.
Then our boy over at Wendy's had to jump in. And I mean, I'll give you my unsolicited opinion on Wendy's burgers. For some reason, they got like some unique taste. Like, and I don't necessarily say that in a good way. There's like a really distinct flavor that a Wendy's burger has. I can't describe it, but I I've never been a fan just because the taste turns me off. Drop a comment if you guys agree. Like, there's a really specific taste that a Wendy's burger has. I I don't know, maybe I'm tripping. I would say overall the Wendy's probably has like the highest quality food out of out of these three so far. The big three here, Burger King, McDow's, and then Wendy's. Like the chicken tenders at Wendy's, chef's kiss. Those are those are some phenomenal work. Fresh, never frozen beef. Our applewood smoked bacon. Our brand new bun. Our square burger cooked on a flat grill. Amazing. Absolutely wonderful. That's a burger. This is exactly the way a great hamburger should be. You got to top it off with a fries and frosty. Excellent.
Now, all right, guys. Here is where my goat comes in. Okay, because a lot of you guys, let me put you on game on A&W, okay? If you're not from Canada, you probably don't know that much about A&W because A&W actually started in the US, but I believe, and I could be wrong, a separate company actually bought the rights to distribute or or whatever franchise it in Canada. So, the Canadian A&W menus and maybe even possibly ingredients are completely different from from the American A&Ws. And A&W in Canada blew up. Like, if you're from Canada, you know A&W. That's like one of the actual biggest fast food chains in the country. And it is by far by far the best, you guys. All right. A burger that actually tastes like a real burger. You don't feel like you're eating fast food. You don't feel gross after you eat it. They have this ranking system, which is a little suspect, where they basically name their burgers after family members. So, you got the grandfather burger, which is three massive patties. I used to eat these after a workout. It's like literally over 50 g of protein for like $9 Canadian, which is like under seven bucks for you Americans. But yeah, you got the grandfather, then you got I think the uncle burger, then you got the teen burger, which that's why I say it's a little suspect, right? Like, oh, what are you eating for lunch today, Rapaholics? Uh, not much. Just eating uh you know, some teen meat. Like what? Come on. You're going to name your meat after a teenager? Come on. I thought the only time I'd ever be discussing teenager related beef was when I was breaking down the lyrics in the Drake and Kendrick D songs. But guys, even the CEO of A&W, like this man, look at this man. All right, this man looks like he goes and eats a burger and fries for lunch when his wife is not watching him. This is a man who looks like he thrives and survives off of some fast food. All right. And I don't say that in a bad way, but the other CEOs, if you're paying close attention, they look like they got a little Botox done. They look like they let the fame get to their head a little bit. Now, this man right here, this man just enjoys the simple things in life. A nice teen burger.
Allan from A&W here with you burger. We love this burger product, which most people call a burger. I'm going to do a tasting right now, but this is actually my lunch. So, let's see what we got going on here. Look at that. It has a unique bread that uh some some some people would call a bun, but really the star is what's inside. I mean, we've got the lettuce, which is green, and pickles, which make it taste pickly, and the teen sauce, the iconic teen sauce. So, this thing is packed. I'm sorry that was a little I don't even know how to attack it. I guess with with my mouth. Here we go. Moment of truth. Now that's good. It's really good. Got a little bit of bacon. That is a big bite of a teen burger. And they're just $4.99 from now until March 11th. So go to A&W and get a teen burger when you can. And Chris, I invite you to join me for lunch. Just you, me, and a couple of teen burgers.
>> See you at lunch, Chris. See you at A&W.
>> Okay, guys. And to add to my crazy conspiracy about the McDonald's video, how the guy didn't actually swallow the burger. We got some more evidence here. All right. The French fry container that was in the video actually got replaced when they made that cut in the edit. And at the beginning, you see the container is half full, but by the end, the container is full of fries. So, you know that they're doing multiple takes here. You know that guy is quickly spitting out that disgusting product that he put into his mouth to pretend like he was eating.
Now, why do they call this thing a product, guys? Because products are supposed to be durable, right? Products are supposed to be man-made equipment that is tough, built to last, strong, and ready to survive. And that's exactly what a McDonald's burger is. The strongest product in the world. Why? Because this thing does not get old. All right, it does not age. Remember how I was telling you about those, you know, carcinogenic breads that I was buying at Publix? Allegedly carcinogenic. Who knows? But yeah, these McDonald's burgers, they could go months sitting in your freaking house in your pantry as if it's like a bag of chips and they will not mold. Look at this, you know, side-by-side comparison between Five Guys, Burger King, and a McDonald's Big Mac. Okay, if nothing else in this video concerned you, this most definitely should. Here's the moment you've been waiting for. These three bags have been sitting for the last 30 days. I don't even want to open this one because I accidentally peeked inside and almost threw up. Smells like something died in there. This Big Mac just hit 7 months old. And last month, I had hundreds of requests to test with other burgers because frankly, people were getting bored by this not changing. So last month, I bought three brand new burgers. Another Big Mac from McDonald's, a Whopper from Burger King, and a hamburger from Five Guys. They've been sealed in these greasy brown bags for the last 31 days. And people ask me every single day, "What's the update?" Here you go. I'm actually nervous to open these. That it smells disgusting right now, which means it's probably rotting, which is what real food does. That's something I hadn't dealt with for these seven months with the Big Mac. Okay, Burger King, let's see what you've got.
>> See how Burger King is going to do.
>> Oh my gosh. That's not good.
>> That's No, that is good to see more.
>> Gosh.
>> Well, I mean, I know.
>> Oh, it's hairy.
>> I can't even open it.
>> They should be
>> I'm going to do an experiment like this one day, too. Just go get some and see how last [ __ ] long last.
>> There's our Burger King burger with mold all over it. Little hairs.
>> It should be worse than that.
>> Black mold everywhere. You can see the little hairy things growing. But I guess that's exactly what real food should do. Next, let's check Five Guys. Oh my god, it smells so bad. And it's
>> I know Five Guys. I heard they use a lot of,
>> you know, decent stuff.
>> Okay, Five Guys. Oh my gosh.
>> Yeah, that's what it's supposed to look like. Damn. That That's what it's supposed to do, though. Yeah,
>> the Five Guys burger. Gosh dang it.
>> Yeah, I ain't going to lie, I would have went outside to open these, bro. This is so disgusting. The only good news is that means it's real. So, I guess you can still eat there. Okay, that's disgusting. Especially the Five Guys burger. He I don't even know what that is. Now, let's do the Big Mac. I've got to hurry cuz I don't know how bad that is for me to be smelling. It smells disgusting.
>> But that that [ __ ] is the Big Mac. The Big Mac looks showroom ready.
>> You can eat that now.
>> It looks just like its seven-month old brother. It looks brand freaking new. Oh,
>> the bun is the same. The patty's the same. This one's 7 months old. This one's 31 days old. They're basically the same. Ready for the Lou. If this doesn't make you think about what we're actually eating every meal, every day, then I don't know what will. Real food rots. Period. Fake food does not. No exceptions. This is what most Americans eat every single day. No wonder we're all sick. No wonder we're all tired. No wonder we're all depressed and stuck. Share this with your friends and let's get McDonald's and Burger King and Five Guys in the comments defending their ingredients. I'd love for them to explain why one of these is immortal and the others are rotting like real food should. I'll leave this here for you guys. If you know, you know.
Okay, now you know McDonald's, they might have the most durable product, but a product is nothing without strong marketing. And I'll give it to Wendy's. I think they definitely got the best social media marketing in the game because after this entire debacle of, you know, McDonald's CEOs barely being able to taste and stomach the big arch or the Burger King CEO pretending like he just ate a Michelin star restaurant burger when he took a bite out of possibly the most disgusting burger in fast food. You got Wendy's over here who says, "You know what? With all these people who can't truly taste the rainbow when they're eating this beef sludge, we are now going to load out the big bucks and pay someone a hefty price to become our chief tasting officer. Yes, our CEOs make too much to the point where they can't eat our products. But the CTOs, the tasting officers, they got it in the bag. All right, $100,000 just to be eating Wendy's burgers all day. All right. Might shorten your lifespan by a good 10, 15 years, but at least you'll have a nice little retirement account with all this money that Wendy's will pay you.
Now, with all this hoopla, I figured that we should actually dive into what counts, right? How is the quality or or the taste at the very least? We know how the quality is. How is the taste of this brand new burger that has the internet by storm, this brand new product over here. All right, so we got King Schratz, who was actually lucky enough to get his hands on one of these new products. And if you want to actually witness someone taking a real bite of the thing and then giving their honest opinion on it, let's roll the clip. A Big Arch is rolling out nationwide at McDonald's. Okay, I'm not the biggest fan of Big Mac sauce, so I figured I would try this one out. Price for the meal is like $12.80 where I am. That to me is a lot for anything from McDonald's. Just going to talk about what matters. How does this burger taste? The Big Arch comes with arch sauce, crispy onions, slivered onions. So, there's two different types of onions on here. Pickles, shredded lettuce, if that's what you like on yours, that's the way it comes. I do not like pickles or lettuce, so mine does not come with that. White cheddar cheese, quarter pound beef patty. So, it's a double quarter pounder in fact on here. And the bun is also different. This is a poppy and sesame seed bun. I feel like I'm getting more onion than sauce on here. To me, this is a way better burger than the Big Mac. It's obviously way bigger than a Big Mac. Like, you can just tell very, and I mean very oniony. I don't mind that. I love onions on my burger. One of the biggest problems I had with the Big Mac. It wasn't very juicy. Even if I took the mac sauce on something different patties, it was more bread than patty. This is more patty than bread. White cheddar cheese, I personally don't think it really added anything different. Really makes it I would actually get it with extra on here next time. Those crispy onions are hidden. The art sauce to me, biggest difference, it tastes a little more like tomatoy than like that relish base. So, I like the art sauce a lot better. Way more beef, way juicier, and in my opinion, better sauce. This is way better than a Big Mac. any variation. Only thing that I don't like, I already talked about it, so I'm not going to get it. As far as the burger goes itself, I like double quarter pounders with cheese. They just jazzed it up more to my liking.
All right, you guys. So, honestly, all in all, I have no overarching message here. No pun intended. Uh-huh. But I would say the golden rule, no pun intended, is to just be a little more cognizant of what you eat. You know, you are what you eat. If you put clean food in your body, you feel so much better, guys. All right. And little life hacks, okay? Go to the grocery store, get yourself some frozen fruit, frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries. You let those bad boys defrost on your counter for a couple hours. You have the equivalent of an entire box of fresh blueberries that taste as ripe and as sweet and as good for like literally 10% of the price. So, you want to save some money, you want to eat healthy, that's a good alternative. Get a Costco membership. Go once a quarter. stock up on like everything from ground beef to ground chicken to ground turkey to steaks and chicken thighs and whatever the case is. Spend the bag, spend $400. You'll have enough meat to literally last you for half a year. Then for everything else, take the time, spend the extra, you know, 15, 20 minutes in Walmart, maybe not even that long, but like read the ingredients on the back of the labels of the things you buy. If it has more than like 25 ingredients and like it's one item like a loaf of bread, a can of yogurt, a package of turkey, these type of things should not have 25 ingredients on them. And if you go to those, you know, scammy health food stores like Whole Foods and all that, yeah, you want to buy the the healthier items that don't have all those nasty ingredients in them, they're going to cost you an arm and a leg. But if you actually go to Walmart and just do a little extra digging, like just read the ingredients on the things before you put them in your cart, you'll see like they have reasonably priced things that aren't actually that bad for you. Like this is what I was doing when I went to Florida and I was like bloated for 2 and 1/2 weeks, I'm like, "All right, like I'm here for a bit longer. I got to like actually kind of be a little bit aware of what I'm eating cuz something is is making me feel disgusting." So, I don't know. Maybe I'm being, you know, a grocery car. Or maybe I'm being a big conspiracy theorist trying to take down big big grocery over here. You know, there's big pharma, but here we got big grocery. Or maybe in another life I should have been a dietician. Who knows? Let me know what you guys think, and I'll catch you in the next one.
