We have many excuses for not eating healthy: I’m too busy. I don’t live near a grocery store. I can’t afford healthy food. I don’t know how to cook.

A new study from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service is taking one of those excuses off the table.

Previous studies have shown that eating junk food is cheaper than eating healthy food. But Andrea Carlson, lead author for the USDA study, said the way those researchers measured cost-effectiveness skewed the results… 

A lot of people think that 2 bags of Lays Potato Chips is a bargain at $5. While they may down a whole bag of those chips in one evening and not feel satisfied, they could have gotten enough broccoli for several meals with that same $5, consumed more nutrients and saved themselves from the processed, fried snack that is filled with bad fats that makes them crave more and more of the same thing.

After just reading a post about parents who weren’t willing to buy more fruits and vegetables “because they are too expensive,” this article may help change their minds. There are so many cheap ways to add a few more servings of both into your diet, and with a few healthy swaps, they may find that they are actually saving both money as well as a little extra weight.

No lie, it’s been a while since a thug has been in the kitchen. So I log into the tumblrverse today to check my shit, maybe dust off the dash and get some new content out. Son, I’ve got a TON of fucking messages (I’m going to try to reply to them all, I promise) and I’m seeing my shit posted all over the god damn place.

I’m glad all you healthy/sexy mother fuckers kept the kitchen warm while I was away. I’m officially back and stepping up my game. Seriously, all the love I’ve got from my followers makes me want to post the best content I can for you. Thug Kitchen undergoing reconstruction as of right now. I’m so fucking heated right now. Shit.

Triathlons are a great way to test your physical and mental endurance, and are an absolutely amazing cross-training activity for almost every single aerobic sport.

A typical sprint triathlon consists of a 700 meter swim, 20 kilometer bike, and a 5 kilometer run.

Before starting this program you should be engaged in aerobic activity - which means running, swimming, and/or biking on a regular basis. If you aren’t at this stage yet, check out the C25K running program and swimming a mile in 6 weeks.

A wealth of information in this post! :D

There was a time, my friends, when I gagged on a chunk of boiled chicken. Those were the days when I had no clue that healthful eating could also be delicious - right around my first competition.

Since said choking incident, I’ve spent a lot of time getting busy in the kitchen so I can learn how…
