Experiencing true hunger, with no out, is profoundly humbling and connects us to humanity in a unique way. There is a deep grief, and a sense of being "left out," that accompanies real hunger. Good for you to recognize what it's like and make a choice to do something about it.

If you would’ve bought raw beans instead of canned, you would’ve gotten at least 4x the amount.

Food insecurity is something I’ve had to go through my entire life. It’s really fascinating watching someone do it as an experiment when they don’t have to.

I love that you made a large donation to a good cause after completing the challenge! I think the locals would have made a bit of lard and salt a priority, and that could have helped you get through the week feeling more satisfied.

I can give you several advices when eating the way you did. Going shopping on local markets here in México and buying what you did its a great idea. Tianguis and mercados here got the best prices for daily products, it can be useful for you to carry you own tuppers, there are some places where they disccount the price of the plastic bags or cups from the total price you pay. When doing oat meal, it will give you way more free time if you just presoak 1 or 1 and a half cup before going to sleep and putting it inside the fridge for the night. When you wake up you can eat it plain; you'll avoid the usage of the stove, the time of cooking, the time of washing cooking items and the risk of burning. When cooking beans, you can go to the cereal locals where you bought the oat meal and buy the plain grain. We have a vast array of bean species you can try on and each one of it have different flavors, so you will never get bored of them, I recommend you bayo beans and black beans to begin with. Cheap and delicious, you can just boil them (maybe 2 hours), we call the beans with that kind of cooking process "Frijoles de la olla" (pot beans). If you make a mixture of chopped potatoes, frijoles de la olla and tortillas..... BOOM, you got an amazing dish. You can also try lentils, I only know 2 of them, you can buy them also where you bought the oat meal and the frijoles, high protein resources and cheap. You Cook them the same way you cooked the beans but they last around 40 minutes or 1 hour cooking. Those 2 cereals have High protein levels, you can combine them with potatoes or camote dulce and it will give you energy for hours. Of course dont forget the tortilla and if you use the pesos you save with the tuppers you can buy chiles and give super plus to your meal. Roast them in a comal, some salt and you got a delicious dinning companion. These are just a few examples of how you can improve cheap meals and expand your horizons with the cooking resources. Nice video!! I HOPE you are having an enjoyable stay here in México. Greetings from Guadalajara!!! Best wishes.

That looked rough bud. To stay cheap and healthy I've done rice, beans, tortillas, and pico for a week. I still do every once in a while to save some funds.

If you eat Tapioca ( cheaper) and you use cassava flour for beignets afterward you'll save even more money. best of all you will not be bloated like when you eat too much rice and los tortillas

Lechiffresix six that is not healthy though eating lots of cassava- it's mostly starch and very little nutrients. This is why many African children have malnourishment problems. Beans, corn tortillas and pico de gallo would provide a better array of nutrition.

@@rgdssd but where did you get the idea that a staple in certain regions is the basic food that people eat ? lol! as is there isn't enough variety in continental african dishes and meals , but you are here informing us that because you saw images of sizeable number of undernourished children that africans don't know what each aliment contains . seriously though, how about well meaning people stop assuming people who existed before this entire planet don't know what to it.

Lechiffresix six one of my best friends is a traveling nurse and I also know a doctor who lived in Africa for a while. Both continuously treated children for malnutrition because they so heavily relied on cassava meals. If you look up the nutritional content of cassava, it does not provide much, just fuel from the starch. Beans on the other hand, do have many nutrients. It's not a criticism of culture, it's studying and understanding the nutritional content of foods. Substituting cassava/tapioca flour for beans is NOT a good idea (nutrition wise). Here's a study from an African scholar speaking about exactly what I mentioned: "Nutritional implications of projects giving high priority to the production of staples of low nutritive quality: The Case for Cassava (Manihot esculenta, Crantz) in the Humid Tropics of West Africa" pdfs.semanticscholar.org/57ea/3dc620630c6f0eafebc7df73fbdfe002dba9.pdf

Yes in Mexico this would be easier to eat $1 day than the States (aside from ramen)! Pointing out the obvious. While living in Thailand years ago, we discovered that baht stretched way farther than usd. Noodles from street stands were extremely cheap and were also really good. If you bought dried beans in bulk? Cheaper than cans, cook overnight, would last for quite a few meals! Just an idea. 💕

Mother Muse It does depend on the country where you live. In India 7 usd is more than 500 rupees. You can buy a 100 cups of tea for that much money. You can definitely have enough healthy food and even some fast food everyday for a dollar here.

appreciate this video ❤ also appreciate the stoic perspective from which you decided to do this

This gave me a lot of ideas. I've put myself on a tight budget and the hardest thing was lowering my weekly food cost, I realized I spend like $200 a week buying ribeyes and snow crab and avocados. Was able to reduce it down to $115 a week. Watching this I saw a few things I could easily improve on and things to avoid based on your mistakes.

This might sound super weird, but seeing you dance and so excited over very few items brought me to tears (and then to laughter again) Its super easy to take things like food and water for granted and not realize what a tremendous blessing it. Thank you for sparking immense gratitude in my heart XO

Oh man, you literally went to one of the most expensive local market in the city jaja cause' that local market it is in one of the most expensives neighborhood, a lot of foreigners live around so local mexicans just grow the normal prices, if you want to do it with less than 100 pesos you need to go to the central local market call "central de abastos" is like 30 min in metro for where you live and you can get even meat, and whatever there, that is the place when local markets and even restaurants bought their stuff, and they smt sell it in the double price in their local markets (that is the mexican way)

@@Zuvas I can get canned beans for like 2/3 that price in Australia. But there's also lentils, chick peas or other legumes. You can also buy them dried. White potatoes are a bit nutrient empty. Sweet potatoes are more nutrient dense but not quite as dirt-cheap. But then again saying less cheap than white potatoes isn't worrying. Some other nutrient-dense foods with surprising amounts of protein are the leafy greens, especially the darker greens, like kale, spinach or broccoli. You can buy broccoli frozen and I think that's cheaper.

The concept of this video k believe is very beautiful; it shows how hard it would be to maintain the life we have if we are hungry. It shows how much we need food and how blessed we are to have it. 💚

I wonder how much it would cost if you bought a bag of uncooked beans? That's how I save a lot of money I'll buy a 25lb bag for about $30 and that lasts me almost a year (I eat beans every day). Obviously that would not fit into the $7 a week challenge but it would definitely help in the long term.

I've seen a lot of videos like this, and most of the time they're really insensitive to people who actually have to live like this. But this was really refreshing. You're open minded, and real. You're not pretending to tie a bigger meaning to it, just diving into another lifestyle outside of your own, whilst raising awareness for a charity that needs it. Thanks for being you, Nathaniel.

This is a great Video! Some People already stated that if you would have bought stuff raw (beans) it would have saved you a lot. And also buying flour instead of the tortillas would also have given you a lot more options. It looks as if it was a culinary knowledge problem more than anything else. As this is already an older Video and i don’t know if you already made another one like this, if not, why not make one but this time with better planning. I would love to watch it. Generally speaking i really like your videos and think that you are an awsome person.
