“There’s a way to eat nutritious food on a budget, but you have to be diligent,” stated Joe Rogan. The UFC commentator then proceeded to talk about the negative effects of eating unhealthy food. “The problem is fast food and food desserts,” he said. 

Rogan said, “But if you have a supermarket. If there’s a supermarket where you live, then you can get food. And if the supermarket has food, you can get healthy food, and it’s not that much more expensive.“.

Today, when everyone is aware of the negative effects of not eating right, healthy food is considered slightly more expensive than ‘junk food’. But is there a possibility that Rogan might be right?

Fans criticize Rogan’s views on healthy food being expensive

In this day and age, everybody is taking fitness seriously. Eating right and working out is something that everyone does these days. However, if you want really healthy and nutritious food, you have to be ready to pay a higher price as compared to ‘junk food’ or ‘fast food’. When Rogan said that healthy food is available to people on a budget, the fans didn’t waste a minute in giving the UFC commentator a reality check.

“These convos are ones that really expose Rogan’s disconnect with his 8-5 listeners,” commented one fan and opened the podium for the rest. Rogan, as an example, mentioned buying beef from Costco, rationing it, and eating it every day. One fan took a dig at that and said, “I like how Joe’s example of an affordable healthy diet is carnivore. Eat nothing but ground beef.“

“Joe has a personal chef that goes grocery shopping for him daily,” stated one fan. Another fan seemed disturbed and rattled by Rogan’s comments and said, “I spend a lot of time here defending Joe, but I think he is showing how out of touch with reality he really is in this segment.“

Another person commented: “Mr. Tomahawk steak Rogan tells the poors to go to Costco and buy tubes of meat and on the way home with your Tesla, hit an organic farm.“, in the hopes of giving Rogan a reality check. 

There were other fans who joined in and had similar things to say. Comments like, “When do you think the last time Joe did dishes was?“, “Not everyone can afford a Costco membership Joseph“, and “I know Joe is out of touch, but holy f**k.“, were seen in the comment section of the Reddit post.
