    Everyone gets that his point is it's hard for poor kids to afford things like food, right?

    He's made it big but he hasn't forgotten where he came from, or that many people in our society still struggle.

    Good for Evan for giving a damn.

    I would suggest frying an egg and toasting an English muffin.

    Like 45 cents.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    And you can add your own favorite type of cheese. That would be my message to motivate the youth.

    How would you motivate the parents who work a 9-5, then another part time job 6-10.
    I wasn't allowed to cook with oil without an adult in the house until 8years old.
    Even then I had to ask, and then say when I finished.

    Just because you have a dick doesn't mean you have to be one all the time too.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You're confused in a few ways:

    1. I was referring to my comment as to "how I'd motivate the youth" not 3RA1N1AC's. I was just following on his comment, which is why I quoted
    2. I was making a throw-away joke, not social commentary
    3. There is no (3)

    If you'll scroll back through, you'll note that I didn't make fun of Turner.

    It's pretty easy for the youth of today to make their own with a breakfast sandwich maker for only $24.99.

    Man if I had enough blind faith to BS myself that Meyers and Turner's contracts would be good.... I'd shave my head, start handing out Scientology pamphlets and keeping repeating "I'm clear."

    It's funny that some of you blame Turner for his contract.

    How about you just make a comment on whether you think the Egg McMuffin is too expensive at $3.50.

    Here I'll show you how it works;

    It is ridiculous that you have to pay THAT much for just a muffin, egg and cheese. $3.50 should be the price when you want sausage, bacon, or ham on it.(I don't eat pork by the way)

    Now you go.

    What kind of fish costs 36 cents?!? That seems the most surprising of any of those costs.

    Could be worse. Ever heard NFL fans complain about their players asking for another 150k for a lifetime of brain damage? They take the attitude the poor house master took with Oliver Twist when he asked, "Please sir. May I have some more?"

    I'm confused because I was asking an open ended question.
    Okay...
    Do I need green font here?

    24.99 is a lot for a single parent of one.
    But it's not about only the cost, it's also about the preparation.
