    Can someone calculate the calories in that? I’m too lazy.

    Maybe don’t include the sugar. That’s a shit ton of sugar to go through in month.

      Ballpark estimate, excluding the sugar:

      2.5kg beef: ~6265 Calories

      0.5l vodka: ~1082 Calories

      1.3kg white rice: ~4743 Calories

      1.3kg flour: ~4732 Calories

      500g butter: ~3585 Calories

      300g cooking oil (Google says rapeseed oil is popular in Poland so I used that): ~2652 Calories

      250g chocolate: ~1338 Calories

      Total: 24,397 Calories or ~813 Calories per day

      Some other people online also did the math and came up with similar numbers. For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37027027 came up with 33,063 Calories (including the sugar)

        Nice, that was super fast. I guess it’s probably enough for one person to survive if they practically don’t move at all the entire month, for a little while at least.

        Still not pleasant I imagine.

          What would you be willing to do to ensure that your fellow citizens aren’t dying of literal hunger on the streets?

          (Clearly to most Americans, that answer is “absolutely nothing”)

            Exactly, and thst sounds like the sort of rations Americans had during the world wars. It was supplimented by a mass movement of community gardens. Personally I’m more a fan of the ration points system we used so that you aren’t stuck with stuff you won’t use and those who’d rather eat like Hannibal of Carthage and go less hungry can do that while those who’d rather eat more resource intensive foods like meat can accept the cost of their demands in the form of calories. Though that may just be because I’ve always been the sort who’d rather be full of lentils and potatoes than hungry after a burger, even before I quit meat.

        You get another 333 calories from the sugar, add it to the vodka!
