    This is not normal. This is the plate of someone who cannot care for themselves either due to depression (or other illness), or simply being uneducated. This person will have multiple medical issues throughout life and die at an early age due to their diet.

      I mean if you eat only this 3 meals a day 7 days a week, sure

      But throw in some veggies next time and cut down on the choccy milk / brownies et voilà. It won’t be the most healthy, instagram diet but it’s perfectly fine that way

        The meme clearly implies this is a regular dinner for this imaginary person. The lack of veggies and overconsumption of sugar is exactly what is being memed about

          While not balanced, this isn’t such a bad meal unless you assume it’s all as processed as it looks.

          If it’s all homemade it wouldn’t be that hard to make any of these “healthy” in comparison to their store bought counterparts.

          As for it being bad because it’s a “regular dinner for this imaginary person”, I’m guessing you’re unfamiliar with ARFID. I know of at least one person who has eaten like this for 40+ years and regular gets healthy results on his annual physical and tests.

            You just cleared up something that was lingering vaguely at the back of my mind for a week.

            I overheard fragments of a conversation between a couple in a cafe talking about “arrfidd”, but what I heard didn’t make sense for Radio Frequency IDentification. This works out much better.

          I’m not sure about this

          It seems open to interpretation

          But if that’s what the author meant, yeah, that imaginary person won’t last long
