Do affluent people really eat better than people that are poor?富人真的比穷人吃得好吗?
评论翻译Jay BazzinottiI will never forget this and I remember it like it was yesterday.It was 1981 and I was a starving college student, literally starving. I had just gotten on food stamps and was still buying Pilchard, a disgusting tuna substitute that was much cheaper than tuna. I lived on unbranded peanut butter and saltines many days. In those days you could even get generic corn flakes.I had a friend who was rich, drove a 280Z to school every day, yada, yada, yada. Invited me to dinner with his folks one day. A free meal!!! I was good to go. It turns out they weren’t expecting me, his mom and dad were sitting in their cluttered kitchen with dirty pots and pans on the stove, steam coming off them, but they invited me to sit with them and eat catch-as-catch-can with them.I put the fork in my mouth. My head nearly exploded.It was the most incredible thing I could ever remember eating and this was their “average” dinner together. I couldn’t even imagine what their “real” meals were like. The mother loaded me up with leftovers. They gave me a bottle of Welch’s White Grape Juice. I had never in my life had anything like Welch’s White Grape Juice. It cost almost 5 dollars for a small bottle in 1981. In 1981, 5 dollars was almost my entire weekly food budget. Welch’s White Grape Juice might as well have been gold because I could never afford it on the best day of my life. Nowadays it’s nothing special but back then I was staggered by it.So yes, compared to poor people, the quality and preparation of food by rich people is not just on another planet, it’s in another galaxy.我永远不会忘记这件事,记忆中一切彷如昨日。那是1981年,那时,我还是一个饥饿的大学生,真的很饿。我刚拿到食品券,还在买沙丁鱼,一种比金枪鱼便宜得多的,恶心的金枪鱼替代品。很多时候,我都需要依靠无品牌的花生酱和苏打饼干生活。那样的日子里,你有时候还得买点无商标的玉米片。我有一个朋友很有钱,每天开着280Z 来上学,诸如此类。有一天,他邀请我和他的家人一起共进晚餐。一顿免费的饭!!!我非常高兴可以去。事实证明,他的家人没想到会多一个我。他的父母坐在他们杂乱的厨房里,炉子上放着脏的锅碗瓢盆,蒸汽从他们身上冒出来,但他们邀请我和他们坐在一起,和他们一起吃有什么做什么的晚餐。我把叉子放进嘴里。我的脑袋差点爆炸。这是我记忆中吃过的最不可思议的东西,对他们而言,却是非常“一般的”晚餐。我无法想象,他们“真正”的饭菜是什么样子的。他母亲给我打包了很多剩菜。他们给了我一瓶韦尔奇白葡萄汁。我这辈子从来没有吃过像韦尔奇白葡萄汁这样的东西。1981年,一小瓶要将近5美元。1981年,5美元几乎是我每周的全部食物预算。韦尔奇的白葡萄汁可能是金子,因为在我一生中最美好的日子里,我永远买不起。现在没什么特别的,但当时我有被它震惊到。所以,是的,与穷人的相比,富人的食物的质量和配置品,不仅不在一个星球上,甚至不在一个星系。原创翻译:龙腾网 http://www.ltaaa.cn 转载请注明出处Franjo ZezeljI was raised in the south of Europe, there is always a great importance for food, but I noticed that as my standard grew, I spent more than twice as much on food. Same foods, same quantities, just better quality. I’m not a snob, but expensive cheese, wine and prosciutto are much tastier than cheap ones我在欧洲南部长大,食物总是一件极为被重视的事情。但我注意到,随着我生活水平的提高,我在食物上的花费增加了一倍多。同样的食物,同样的数量,只是质量更好。我不是势利小人,但昂贵的奶酪、葡萄酒和火腿比便宜的要美味得多。StephSAbsolutely. I am poor right now and the thing I miss most about not being poor is quality food. So much more enjoyable and healthier, too.对极了。我现在很穷,我最怀念的是:不缺乏优质食物。更令人愉快、更健康。Franjo ZezeljI hope you manage to solve the problems and get out of poverty! I wish you success from the bottom of my heart! good luck!我希望你设法解决问题,摆脱贫困!我发自内心地祝你成功!祝你好运!Trinh NguyenMe too but eating well is the last thing on my mind now. I just want something healthy to eat then I am happy. I grew up in poverty so hope to change it soon. I need to get out of poverty and bring a pauper first before thinking about what to eat. But luckily I learned how to eat decently well for less money. Cooking at home is always best. It is healthier and you save lots of money. You can eat well with less money if you can cook yourself.我也是,但现在我最不想的就是吃得好。我只想吃点健康的东西,然后我就很开心了。我在贫穷中长大,所以希望很快能改变贫穷的状态。在考虑吃什么之前,我需要先摆脱缺乏和依靠救济度日的状态。但幸运的是,我学会了如何用更少的钱吃得很好。在家做饭总是最好的。它更健康,而且可以节省很多钱。如果你能自己做饭,你可以用更少的钱吃得很好。Steve BloxhamThe food rule:… poor = quantity… middle = value… upper = presentation食物法则:贫穷=数量中产=划算程度上流=展示Victoria BlockerThat is us: Value. My husband is a retired board certified medical doctor, and OB/gyn physician surgeon with a solo private practice. He retired in 2014 at age sixty-six. I am four years younger than my husband, college educated, and better off financially than my husband is. We have separate finances. We both have our separate legal affair in order as well. Neither one of us has any debt of any kind. We live in my small home, have a very simple life, go daily to the gym, watch our diet carefully. We drive only one car a Honda. I prefer to cook myself. I don't like eating out. I do not trust their hygiene standards. A couple times a week we stop at Walmart on our way from the gym to get our groceries. We are daily at the gym from 5 to 7 a.m. We decline social diners we get invited. We prefer to live with humility in our private cocoon.我们就是如此:划算程度。我丈夫是一名退休的委员会认证医生,也是一名单独私人执业的妇产科医生。他于2014年退休,当时他66岁。我比我丈夫小四岁,受过大学教育,经济状况比我丈夫好。我们有各自的经济状况。我们也有各自的法律事务。我们都没有任何债务。我们住在我的小家里,过着非常简单的生活,每天去健身房,仔细观察我们的饮食。我们只开一辆本田汽车。我更喜欢自己做饭。我不喜欢在外面吃饭。我不相信他们的卫生标准。每周,我们从健身房出发,会在沃尔玛停下来购买杂货。我们每天早上5点到7点在健身房。我们拒绝那些邀请我们的社交用餐。我们更愿意在自己的私人茧房中谦逊地生活。Ross GriegoOne of the greatest and simplest things my mom does is cook at home. I prefer to stay home and enjoy the richness of her cooking rather than go to a restaurant. Her husband died of dementia, so I moved in with her and she decided to move in her grandson. He is autistic. One of the greatest joys of my life! We are not rich, nor are we poor, but we live a very simple humble life. I appreciate your comments!Enjoy Life!我妈妈做的最伟大、最简单的事情之一就是在家做饭。我宁愿呆在家里享受她丰富的烹饪,也不愿去餐馆。她的丈夫死于痴呆症,所以我搬来和她一起住,她决定把孙子一起搬过来,他患有自闭症。这是我一生中最大的快乐之一!我们不富裕,也不贫穷,但我们过着非常简单而谦逊的生活。我感谢你的评论!享受生活!Chigama Chigama“Better off financially than my husband” is such a weird thing for me to read. Not knocking your lifestyle; to each their own, but my wife’s finances are my finances and vise-versa. Whatever happens to her financially happens to me just as well.May I inquire as to why you keep your finances separate? Is it in preparation for possible separation, or…?“经济状况比我丈夫好”对我来说,这读起来很奇怪。不是想影响你的生活方式,每个人都有自己的生活方式,但我妻子的财务就是我的财务,反之亦然。无论她在经济上发生了什么,都是在我身上发生。我可以问一下,你为什么把财务分开吗?是在为可能的分离做准备,还是……?
