But people don't go hungry because they don't have $3.25. They go hungry because that money needs to go to more important things like keeping themselves not homeless.



ramen is even cheaper than that. chicken breast is $1.99lb

Pound of chicken and 2 packs of ramen a day. Throw in some bread and peanutbutter and eggs.. hell, I lived like that through college just fine

Now you're getting pretty expensive, though. Beans and rice is cheap and good for you. I find that I have to eat a frick ton of it to stay full. But then again I eat 3000 - 3500 calories a day. And again, some people are struggling just to pay rent and keep the lights on. Every dollar counts.

ramen is $0.18 per pack. chicken is $1.99/lb boneless skinless chicken breast. 

pound of chicken = ~350-400 calories and ~44g protein 
3 packs of ramen = ~1200 calories 

$2.53/day. it may get old but it will easily keep you alive. with the extra $0.75/day buy some spices and other things to dress your food up. hell, i've seen some pretty cool ramen recipes..lasagna etc.
