Is that diet OK for growing kids or just adults?

[-] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 12 hours ago

Not even all adults. That diet makes me fart constantly and feel suboptimal.

I have no idea. There is a decent variety of foods that are 1000 calories for a dollar, and maybe combining all of them together is enough variety. But I'm not a doctor.

More variety in your diet is likely to always be superior to less. That goes for both kids and adults. The trouble with younger kids is that deficiencies can impact their development and have more severe long term consequences, and they're also less capable of seeking out foods to fill that gap.

My mom basically starved so we could eat. I remember her giving me her food regularly. I Still only ate once a day even with her sacrifices. I expect I will be doing the same at this rate so I wanna do more for them if I cam.

If the option is you all not eating enough, and eating primarily cheap bulk foods, do pick the cheap bulk foods. With cheap seasonings and making your own tortillas, breads, and gravies, you can have a large variety using the same 20ish cheap base ingredients.

We are tortillas and rice all the time. Some days evey meal. Sure she upgraded it with veggies or added eggs but it's like I was born of rice, molded by it, I didn't know what a salad was until I was a man.
