Interesting take.

Really? Think bout the definition of bountiful.
1: liberal in bestowing gifts or favors
2: given or provided abundantly
On a per acre basis, grown wins. On an availability basis, McDonald's kills.
"most nutritious"heavily processed wheat (basically sugar) for bun, greasy meat from gmo-feed cows + pink slime, plenty of chemicals
"bountiful food" more bountiful than rice, beans, corn, potatoes
a MacDo plant/shill or just an ignorant, obese, diseased bubba.
Yeah, Freakonomics is obviously a Mac Donald's shill and certainly a diseased bubba.
lol at not reading the link (again).
mcdonald's is more available than grown foods? I have to disagree with that
Do a quick location count of McDonald's vs. Grocery Stores.
grocery stores? what does that have to do with anything. My backyard is my grocery store
How many people are growing food in their backyard, vs people who buy food at grocery stores (X) X:Y. Y=McDonalds. Solve for X.
TBRIF it's not freakonomics, but " reader named Ralph Thomas"

Yet somehow Freakonomics felt it was worthy to post on their website? Dumbass.
Not everyone has a garden for veggies/fruits in their backyard..
Depending on how much you have (in your backyard.... lol), factoring in seasons, labor, time, cost, I can come to the conclusion quick that a $1 packs a bigger punch in regards to getting the body calories, protein, etc with a single burger available almost anywhere.
Pretty much the point that was being made, tbh.
does that change the ability to do so?
It's a choice as is eating at mcdonald's. I don't see how using seeds from vegetables grown can be less bountiful than someone killing cows to make burgers.
Availability is the factor you're missing. You drive to McDonalds, order the burger and eat it.
You plant seeds. You water. You weed the garden. You pick the vegetables. You clean them and prepare them. Then you eat them.
Which has the best availability?
In the mc d scenario, preparations are external to availability to the consumer. In the garden scenario, preparation is a principle component of availability.
I'm sure growing veggies is efficient too... Now I don't have the numbers to crunch to compare the two. But my money is on the burger.
A cup of sun dried tomatoes.. a veggie high on protein for example, requires 2.5 cups to achieve 23g grams of protein. The burger much easier to consume for that same amount, no?
depends how much you like sun dried tomatoes i guess
TB"worthy"? is your guess.
Mine is it's up their as a weird, ridiculous, ignornant take on MacDo garbage.
Guess? lol...it's demonstrable, idiot. By dint of the post, it was worthy of posting on their website.
Your spin is what it is. Asinine as always.
TB
you assume "worthy"?There are many reasons they would post such a "freaky" comment from a freaky web site vistior.
how much salt in MacDumb garbage?
Over-Consumption Of Salt Linked To One In 10 American Deaths
Just days after a study linked sugary drink consumption to 180,000 worldwide deaths per year, a study by the same team of Harvard researchers has found salt to be even more deadly.
The preliminary study found a diet high in sodium contributed to 2.3 million cardiovascular deaths worldwide in 2010, and was responsible for one in 10 U.S. deaths. The researchers, who presented the study Thursday at the annual American Heart Association meeting in New Orleans, said 40 percent of those deaths are premature — affecting people 69 years old or younger.
Dariush Mozaffarian, one of the study’s researchers and associate professor of medicine and epidemiology at Harvard Medical School, told ABC News that salt is more dangerous than sugar largely because of its pervasiveness in the American diet — it’s everywhere, especially in processed, packaged foods:
MOZAFFARIAN: Sugar-sweetened beverages are just one type of food that people can avoid, whereas sodium is in everything. [...] It’s really amazing how pervasive it is. For the average person, it’s very hard to avoid salt — you have to be incredibly motivated, incredibly educated, have access to a range of foods and do all the cooking yourself.
