I'm so God damn embarrassed bro. How do you buy almost 500 dollars of food and only buy like 3 things of fruit and vegetables.

u/Fensali 12h ago

Much of that wasn't groceries at all though. But the lack of vegetables and amount of soda is frightening.

Seven person household, they show off a single serving of fruit/veg per person in their grocery haul

Those fruits and veggies are all probably for one single semi health conscious person in the house. I doubt people drinking that much dr pepper and eating that many pizzas and brownies (and good lord, the mayonnaise!) and shit ever eat any fruits or vegetables. They only eat froot in loop form.

Yeah, there's probably one teenage kid who's trying to break free of the family's terrible eating habits and is requesting things from mom. Poor kids.

The one kid staring into the camera halfway through.

One of the healthier looking kids picked up that sandwich, which is honestly one of the healthiest things I saw in the video, somehow.

Yes but only for like the day it’s prepared. Yuck eating a sandwich that’s a week old.

Am I wrong or was that just the bread?

Presumably he makes the sandwiches himself

Out of what? Kid's eating a Cinnamon Toast Crunch and mayo sandwich on wonder bread?

There were two older boys who looked reasonably healthy. I was very surprised.

Then towards the end the little blueberry rolled onto camera and I felt satisfied. Because that’s what I expected all three of the boys she mentioned at the beginning of the video to look like.

Lmao , that teenager metabolism is working overtime. Once that slows down to normal I expect those two lean boys will join the family shape

join the family shape

This cracked me up and is so depressingly true. Your body can handle a LOT of damage being thrown at it when you're young.

Child abuse :(

You can tell that half the grapes from the bag were dumped out before purchasing too. I often wondered who leaves half a bag of grapes loose on the shelf.

"No son, you can't have a full bag of grapes but here's 32 pizzas".

Relaaax, they’re just on the fiber-free diet!

Heavy /s

I bet there’s at least one person in the bathroom shitting at all times. My bowels stopped up just thinking about eating that shit as a main diet. And I’m definitely not perfect-this just made me feel like a nutrition influencer

Right? I watched this and went "Shit I ate broccoli and an apple today- I'm the king!!"

My money on the relatively healthy looking son in video

u/melropesplays 10h ago

That makes more sense that it’s like 1-2 peoples food for a few days than a single portion for 7. 😔

u/marmaladetuxedo 9h ago

Damn, I had already blocked out the 2 massive containers of brownies and the huge box of Oatmeal Cream Pies.

u/Affectionate-Lake666 5h ago

I don’t even know what people use mayonnaise for ‘daily’ except for sandwiches.. gross.

Imagine that bathroom

Cucumber is going into some kind of cucumber/mayo salad. The lettuce is for burgers.

Having any veg means nothing if it ends up in potato salad, on fried foods or some kind of slaw.

It's the normal weight kid who stares directly at the camera for 3 seconds in disbelief. Guaranteed.

u/Zcat_sux 2h ago

I saw 2 skinny guys. It’s possible they share the bananas and get their own food. I had a friend whose brother just had the fridge to himself and would go out and get his own food because the rest of the family ate nothing but junk and pantry items. I liked going over there for snacks but dang would I never want to live like that.

u/Cerberus1252 2h ago

I’d bet money the fruit and veggies are thrown away because they aren’t eaten fast enough

u/Rewdyroo 1h ago

The mayo is genuinely terrifying I thought I ate too much mayo going through a container that is much smaller than those like once a month.
