> I'd rather flag the entire submission. Cooking cheap is one thing, but the "healthy" throughline continues to go nowhere.
Perhaps a better title would be "how to eat as healthily as possible for £1 per day", but I tried to find a balance between precision and clarity.
Yes, the primary energy source is starch, but this is simply a necessity on such a limited budget. Even if you were comfortable getting the majority of your calories from vegetable oil or lard, it would be extremely difficult to find a palatable diet that incorporated such large quantities without breaking the budget.
I don't see why it's necessary to overreach and make health claims at all. It could just be "Meals You Can Cook On £1/day".
Frankly, it's this wishy-washy "Food Pyramid" definition of healthy eating (load up on carbs by default, also, FaVs solve everything) that's put the general population in such a bad state.
The meal plan should be christened "This Week In Starch". Just look at it!
