Single head of cauliflower, single head of broccoli, packet of bean sprouts, rice and seasoning....split between 5 people for under a fiver?

It sounds very healthy and nutritious and just the kind of stuff people should be eating apart from the occasional treat. Not sure where the 50 calories comes from in your calculation.
@@stellaboulton9531 Broccoli has around 34 calories per 100G, while cauliflower has around 25 calories and bean sprouts 27. So if these are your main sources of nutrition you will need to eat many KG of them a day, like a panda continually consuming bamboo.
@Paul-eb4jb.......Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in the world - 66% of the population live on less than US$1 per day and 38% of the population live on just .50 cents per day.

Cauliflower rice every day lol, no protein, fats, no nutrients minerals or vitamins. Children are growing and need all these things. Also he missed out breakfast and lunch. 😂 His "beautiful" vegan curry will lead to malnutrishment of a child.
It’s infuriating that this guy doesn’t seem to understand that on a bad week _you don’t have £5_. Buying food isn’t usually the expense that breaks you, it’s other expenses that stop you being able to afford food. The actual job is to feed your family on negative £10 a day because the unreliable car you use to get to work needed fixing and you dropped your phone.
This is such an ignorant comment. Like do you really think economics is so simple that you just need to 'tax the rich more bro' and everything will work out? Read a book before you post a comment next time kid.
@@SonOfExcess To solve wealth inequality, which the UK is currently increasingly suffering from, what do you suggest? Wait for the invisible hand of the market to take care of it?
5 pounds a day? That doesn't seem that bad.. that would be 35 a week or 140 a month. Which could get you a lot of rice and lentils ...you won't have steak.... or diversity but you could be healthy and well fed as many people in the world live on a diet of rice and beans and the odd bit of cabbage or tortilla or flat bread. That's the reality of poverty which I don't think has really hit the bits at all yet. They think they are poor when they can only afford fish fingers ....they dont know how to live on potatoes or rice and lentils. People who have always been poor have always been doing this the whole time cos they have never had the boom era when you could afford fish fingers.
You can talk about facts all day long. What Daniel's got to offer is far more valuable than facts. It's blind prejudice, ignorance, and an incredibly high opinion of himself.

Poverty is relative. Just because you had it "harder" 60 years ago doesn't mean people who are poor today aren't poor. I'm sure Niel would have been upset if someone had told him he wasn't poor when he was younger because it was worse in the late 1800s when they were born.
Let’s not forget how far the economy has been stretched since then… compensation hasn’t kept up with the value produced by workers. Poor people today are proportionally way poorer than they were in his day
The man who said poverty doesn't exist, and worked for the DWP, is part of the problem. I'd also note that the difficulty in eating because of lack of money becomes much greater if you have food allergies or intolerances. The cheapest proteins are beans, eggs, and cheese. Of that list, I risk making myself very very ill if I eat eggs or cheese regularly. While I can eat them, I ultimately get very little sustenance from them, either because they come back up, or because they pass through my system far too quickly to be properly digested. A man cannot live on beans alone for their protein, they'd die from other nutritional deficits, which can't simply be made up by buying multivitamins, because those are yet more expensive.
So, are you able to work or unable to work? If so, do you get benefits? I am not criticising just wondering how you get through? Are you thinking that the government needs to reduce the cost of living? Give extra benefits? Force businesses to pay fixed rates of pay?
That's precisely the problem with these "solutions", going all the way back to Matthew Paris surviving on the dole in the 80s. It's easy if you have all the pots and pans, herbs, a freezer, tupperware, a warm house,.a microwave, air fryer and goodness knows what else. You need to be quite rich to be able to survive being poor. And maybe you can for a little while. But it's different knowing you're choosing to save money and can go back to a warm house with luxuries in x weeks time rather than having to live like that all the time.

@@TheUnluckyGama Explain how you balance weekly meals, for a family, consisting £5 worth of food per day. Eating the same food every day will poison you, that is a fact! He was lying.
@@verystripeyzebra Yes, it does. The human body can not tolerate the same meal every day. Nutrients from fruit, grain, meats etc are required for a healthy, balanced diet. A family of 4 isn't going to be given that from a budget of £5 per day, whether or not price inflation/product-shrinkage is factored. £1.25 per person, per day... three meals per day. *He was lying*
First he said he has enough food to feed 4 people. Then says he can easily feed 5 people, then says he can easily feed himslef AND 5 other people? Hes clearly lying or talking about appetiser sized portions.
So it's rice and broccoli everyday oh and magic spices that just turned up in his house that he didn't have to pay for I guess he'd be cooking it on the Barbie and that's why doesn't remember cooking food costs money.
Daniel's Cafe: Chefs Special - Starters: Leaf of Lettuce Main: Bowl of Beans. One Carrot, Slice of Bread, Half a Tomato and refreshing cup of Water Dessert: Ice Cube
We can all live off Cereal and water for pennies a day, its not about quantity of food but quality, having a balanced diet that is filling and nutritious is expensive.
If you meet people like Daniel, ask yourself: Do they have empathy? Can they put themselves in another person's shoes? You can then dismiss or consider what they are saying based on your own judgment. Amidst all this talk about food, we must also consider energy bills, low wages, and job insecurity worries. If you have had to live like this, it is not living; it is merely existing - no plans, no life, just living to solve the next crisis, firefighting. It's time to start planning for the future and take proactive measures. Observation: I am not endorsing Labour, but Surestart pre-2010 was indeed a proactive measure🙂
I live with someone like this and they don't just lack empathy but are deeply insecure themselves. Imagine needing to lecture someone already stressed and struggling lol they ALWAYS punch down to lift themselves up.
Did he mean 5 per person or 5 for everyone? i mean, maybe with no protein, and already owning spices, oils, etc? I could eat 3 potatoes a day, but that doesn't feed a person.
I’m retired now, but was struggling from one paycheque to the next during the 80’s. Paying a mortgage , raising 3 children and trying to keep them clothes warm and fed was terrifying. We were just over the benefit mark so had no help. No food banks nothing. I cooked everything from scratch but still couldn’t feed a family of five without help. My parents and and In-laws used to buy food to help us out. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO FEED A FAMILY HEALTHILY ON A PITTANCE!!! That Chap is an Idiot!!!!
Errr…….when we had Children we could afford them. Nobody foresaw the financial crash and subsequent mortgage hike. This was caused by Bankers… non of which paid for their actions: we did. Many people lost their home.
Even if Daniel is correct, I don't think "just eat vegetable curry for every meal forever" is quite the counter-argument to food poverty he thinks it is.
And there we go a decade or 2 ago he cooked food once for £5 for 4 sorry 5 adults it just keeps going up! But food inflation means that just isn't possible now.
Food prices have gone up by nearly 50% in last year! Cant give growing children cauliflower & rice everyday! The idea that you grew up in worse poverty is really extraordinary???
Is the breakfast, packed lunch, snacks, supper, drinks, washing powder, shampoos, soaps, toilet rolls, etc etc etc coming out of the £5 day to feed a family. Shopping at Sainsburys aswell 😂 Daniel you're living in another world !!

@@charlottemarceau8062 Porridge is a wonderful meal to start the day with - I hope I'm not overstepping when I throw in a fun suggestion to change up porridge, I make mine exciting by adding bran flakes, nuts, and dried fruits, so it's almost a hot muesli rather than just a porridge, and those nuts and dried fruits can help you pack in the micronutrients. In any case, I hope your kids enjoyed their breakfast, and that they got off to school without a hitch!
Definition of food poverty - the condition of not having access to sufficient food, or food of an adequate quality, to meet one's basic needs. It is not just the cost of food but the cost of energy in cooking the food!!!
The caller is lying. Simple as that. Of course, he already had a 15 kilo sack of rice and a rack of spices in the house. And electricity or gas, plus oil for cooking. And he has no kids! You cannot feed a family of five 3 times a day on a fiver. His "Bargain One Meal Mash Up" is an irrelevant hoax. {:o:O:}
Yeh I mean Dahl rice is a staple an cheap food across India that most people will eat twice a day every day if they are poor. It's extremely cheap and nutritious especially with some indian pickle and bread and vegetable side. Probably only costs around 50p per head even here
Does the caller know that people generally eat three meals per day? Even taking his 5 pound shopping list, that's still 15 a day, 100 per week, and his shopping list has no meat, dairy or protein either.
I challenge anyone, who doesn't think poverty is a thing, to live on £360 a month - that has to cover electricity, gas, water, even council tax (reduced), travel costs, basic toiletries, and food.
Daniel should provide a monthly, costed out menu plan so that a dietician can confirm that you can feed a family of 5 for £5 AND do it covering the nutritional requirements as recommended by the government.
Daniel from Brixton is clueless. I as a single man spend £30 - £35 a week on food shopping. And it would be more if I didn't bulk buy for two weeks instead of doing a weekly shop. If I did a weekly shop it would cost me £40-45.

You would be lucky to get a meal for 1 person for £5 at sainsburys
@@saltynutzz also wouldn't fancy eating veg curry every meal every day
@@saltynutzz He varies from saying a meal to "whole day". Can you imagine the same meal 3 times a day?
initially he says per meal (for 4/5), which you can easily do for £5. Not a day though.
This world is really full of nonsensical people, he doesn't even have kids.
When I was a single parent of three & worked 3 jobs a day my daughter was not allowed free school meals while I was her dinner lady at local high school. If you have never been in that situation you don’t understand 😢
People who think poverty is "gone" should meet some of the kids and families I've worked with.
Poverty is here to stay until the ruling classes decide it is no longer a useful tool for disenfranchisement and stoking hatred.
"Poverty doesn't need to happen" is not the same as "let's do a Khmer Rouge".
How many of those people are in poverty through no fault of their own and how many through poor life decisions?
@@davidgaskin5417 - How many children in poverty are responsible for the life decisions of their parents or their parents parents?
We can all come up with cute questions to distract from the problem; but the simple fact is that no problem gets solved without a genuine desire to do so.
Nonsense. What about protein? Fish, meat etc costs more than £5 let alone the veg / pasta / rice
Tuna / sardines are cheap as chips!
@LittleBanditMicra awesome
Let's eat that every day. What child has ever refused tuna or sardines...
@@NeilBlaiberg Not ones that are starving!
I got whatever was put in front of me and I was grateful!
Maybe try not being a push over parent! 🤷🏻♂️
Beef mince, whole chickens, chicken thighs - all supermarkets do those for about £3.50. You can do a meal for £5. The problem is the caller then jumps to claiming £5 a day, which probably isn't manageable.

Daniel was lying, also, eating the same meal every day would make you ill.
Not if it was balanced right, but his £5 a day for 4 people is assuming they eat nothing for breakfast or lunch, only the main meal
@@TheUnluckyGama
Explain how you balance weekly meals, for a family, consisting £5 worth of food per day. Eating the same food every day will poison you, that is a fact!
He was lying.
Eating the same food everyday does not make you ill. It's what you eat that counts.
Many tribal cultures have plentiful food but no choice.
@@verystripeyzebra
Yes, it does. The human body can not tolerate the same meal every day. Nutrients from fruit, grain, meats etc are required for a healthy, balanced diet. A family of 4 isn't going to be given that from a budget of £5 per day, whether or not price inflation/product-shrinkage is factored. £1.25 per person, per day... three meals per day.
*He was lying*
@@verystripeyzebra
Name these tribes.
Fish, meat, fruit, grain, vegetables will be part of a remote tribe's diet. Fungi too.

Delusion in the extreme.
So it's rice and broccoli everyday oh and magic spices that just turned up in his house that he didn't have to pay for I guess he'd be cooking it on the Barbie and that's why doesn't remember cooking food costs money.
No bread, no meat, no milk or sugar, so we should eat turnip is what he suggests, even spices cost money. The guy is a tool.
Daniel's Cafe:
Chefs Special - Starters: Leaf of Lettuce
Main: Bowl of Beans. One Carrot, Slice of Bread, Half a Tomato and refreshing cup of Water
Dessert: Ice Cube
We can all live off Cereal and water for pennies a day, its not about quantity of food but quality, having a balanced diet that is filling and nutritious is expensive.
Only for a time though as your body and health would suffer badly!
@NicolaMcElwee when the kids get scurvy, we'll just give them an orange.
@chrisj9700 that's a little under £9 a day, to feed how many?
Daniel cooks on free electricity or gas does he?
He can run his gas and leccy meter on only 10 pound a month
LOL. Daniel should do stand-up comedy.
If you meet people like Daniel, ask yourself: Do they have empathy? Can they put themselves in another person's shoes? You can then dismiss or consider what they are saying based on your own judgment. Amidst all this talk about food, we must also consider energy bills, low wages, and job insecurity worries. If you have had to live like this, it is not living; it is merely existing - no plans, no life, just living to solve the next crisis, firefighting. It's time to start planning for the future and take proactive measures. Observation: I am not endorsing Labour, but Surestart pre-2010 was indeed a proactive measure🙂
I live with someone like this and they don't just lack empathy but are deeply insecure themselves. Imagine needing to lecture someone already stressed and struggling lol they ALWAYS punch down to lift themselves up.

That Daniel sounds he like he should be a tory mp.
This was his interview for the job, he passed with flying colours
The folly of ignorance
Did he mean 5 per person or 5 for everyone? i mean, maybe with no protein, and already owning spices, oils, etc? I could eat 3 potatoes a day, but that doesn't feed a person.
I agree, free school meals for all children. If well off parents feel they can pay, donate money to schools.🙏
I’m retired now, but was struggling from one paycheque to the next during the 80’s. Paying a mortgage , raising 3 children and trying to keep them clothes warm and fed was terrifying. We were just over the benefit mark so had no help. No food banks nothing. I cooked everything from scratch but still couldn’t feed a family of five without help. My parents and and In-laws used to buy food to help us out.
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO FEED A FAMILY HEALTHILY ON A PITTANCE!!! That Chap is an Idiot!!!!
At which point of producing three children did it strike you that you couldn't afford them?
Errr…….when we had Children we could afford them. Nobody foresaw the financial crash and subsequent mortgage hike. This was caused by Bankers… non of which paid for their actions: we did. Many people lost their home.
Daniel going for Tory MP.
He's an incompetent dork so he'd fit right in.
Marginally overqualified ?😂
Even if Daniel is correct, I don't think "just eat vegetable curry for every meal forever" is quite the counter-argument to food poverty he thinks it is.
Daniel - single - preaching about something he knows nothing about - what a prat!
And there we go a decade or 2 ago he cooked food once for £5 for 4 sorry 5 adults it just keeps going up! But food inflation means that just isn't possible now.
I wonder if Daniel still has a passport?
Food prices have gone up by nearly 50% in last year!
Cant give growing children cauliflower & rice everyday!
The idea that you grew up in worse poverty is really extraordinary???
Yes to free school meals for ALL children. Just because a family is "well off" doesn't mean they feed their children well.
Is the breakfast, packed lunch, snacks, supper, drinks, washing powder, shampoos, soaps, toilet rolls, etc etc etc coming out of the £5 day to feed a family. Shopping at Sainsburys aswell 😂 Daniel you're living in another world !!
Daniel doesn’t use wash powder, soap or shampoo. That’s why he can afford to live on curry for breakfast, lunch and dinner each day!Lol!😂
This guy is a liar. Even if it were true, why should people have to survive on £5 a week.
a decent piece of meat or fish costs that.......whats he feeding them on ...Cat food..!
Cat food only has 3% meat in it that’s how they keep the price down.
Hilarious ! No wonder Daniel is single.. (im getting our two ready for school right now, they're having porridge. Porridge is 1 of 10 million tasks we have to get through before 9am!)

@@charlottemarceau8062 Porridge is a wonderful meal to start the day with - I hope I'm not overstepping when I throw in a fun suggestion to change up porridge, I make mine exciting by adding bran flakes, nuts, and dried fruits, so it's almost a hot muesli rather than just a porridge, and those nuts and dried fruits can help you pack in the micronutrients. In any case, I hope your kids enjoyed their breakfast, and that they got off to school without a hitch!

What on earth is he feeding them??
Definition of food poverty - the condition of not having access to sufficient food, or food of an adequate quality, to meet one's basic needs. It is not just the cost of food but the cost of energy in cooking the food!!!
The caller is lying. Simple as that.
Of course, he already had a 15 kilo sack of rice and a rack of spices in the house. And electricity or gas, plus oil for cooking.
And he has no kids! You cannot feed a family of five 3 times a day on a fiver. His "Bargain One Meal Mash Up" is an irrelevant hoax.
{:o:O:}
Even a fiver a day is a joke can't feed kids curry
I mean literally billions of children on this planet, rich or poor, grow up eating curries...
Yeh I mean Dahl rice is a staple an cheap food across India that most people will eat twice a day every day if they are poor. It's extremely cheap and nutritious especially with some indian pickle and bread and vegetable side. Probably only costs around 50p per head even here

Thank goodness you're not at all self-righteous or anything.
What's egg and chips got to do with poverty? Egg and chips is still a staple food
Surely we have more than one meal a day, maybe you can feed a family for £5 for one meal, maybe you can’t, but you can’t feed a family for £5 per day
Does the caller know that people generally eat three meals per day? Even taking his 5 pound shopping list, that's still 15 a day, 100 per week, and his shopping list has no meat, dairy or protein either.
Daniel doesn't get it ,does he ? Why should anyone be living such a frugal existence ? What for ? So a few ultra rich people can get richer .
Do some of these people actually think before they speak?
Life is simple when you DGAF about anyone else.
I challenge anyone, who doesn't think poverty is a thing, to live on £360 a month - that has to cover electricity, gas, water, even council tax (reduced), travel costs, basic toiletries, and food.
My son has had his lunch stolen twice recently and had to bring his lunch box into the class. Sign of the times sadly.
Daniel from Brixton sounds like a great guy, he knows so much about feeding a family of 5 without ever having any kids
Another Lee Anderson 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 he’s single but knows all about feeding 5 people every day 😂😂😂
Daniel should provide a monthly, costed out menu plan so that a dietician can confirm that you can feed a family of 5 for £5 AND do it covering the nutritional requirements as recommended by the government.
Is he getting the food out of a bin?
Daniel from Brixton is clueless. I as a single man spend £30 - £35 a week on food shopping. And it would be more if I didn't bulk buy for two weeks instead of doing a weekly shop. If I did a weekly shop it would cost me £40-45.
Wait till he finds out how much sanitary products cost a woman each month.
@@LoveProWrestling Or a man who wants to do the same amount of effort(men rarely needs too). Heck my male products are even more expensive then what my nieces use, just the beard products are way over my budget.
But let's talk about just standard stuff, mouthwash, dental floss... relatively cheap products but even kids and men could(and probably should) use them twice daily. Most poor kids just have to make due with toothpaste, if anything at all.
Then to put it one step further, just to get a decent job(and pay) these days, requires effort beyond just water and soap in many cases. Times are changing fast in these areas and I'm not sure i like it.
