Eva Green thinks experts can get f*cked.

Are People Eating Too Much?

67% of Canadians say that the cost of food is out-of-hand and that they can no longer afford to feed themselves and their families. 80% say that they have cut back on the size and frequency of meals as a consequence. “There are some days when I just don’t eat,” says Eva Green, mom to 2 small children. “I try not to let on that anything’s wrong because I don’t want to worry the kids, but I’m so tired.”

But is Eva being honest with herself? Some experts think not. “People don’t need as much food as they’ve been led to believe,” says billionaire entrepreneur Chip Wilson. “Skipping a day or two of food is good for a person- it keeps the mind sharp.” Shopify’s Tobi Lutke agrees, “The benefits of fasting have long been known. People who complain about it are just weak.”

They suggest that the 1200-1500 recommended daily caloric intake is too high and sets unreasonable expectations. “Even the fact that there’s a daily recommendation is problematic,” Lutke adds, suggesting that it makes people feel entitled to food. “Take Eva for example,” he says, “she probably looks fantastic- but is she focused on that? No. She’s whining about not eating. It’s a self-defeating attitude.” 

The Montreal Economic Institute’s (MEI) most recent study seems to support that. They say that eating less can make your money go further. “That’s a positive thing,” says study author Ima Jurke. “People are focused on the wrong thing and it’s putting them in a negative state of mind, but they save money every time they go without a meal. The power is in their hands.”

Pierre Poilievre, leader of the federal Conservative party, agrees. “Look, there’s plenty of food out there. We don’t have a shortage,” he says, chomping into an apple. “What we have is a lazy consumption problem. People who expect to eat without earning it. Conservatives don’t believe in handouts, we believe in hard work.” 

What about people working two or more jobs, like Ms. Green, who still can’t afford to eat? “She should apply for better jobs,” Mr. Poilievre replied. “There’s nothing a hard-working Canadian can’t do if they put their mind to it,” he smiled smugly, tossing a half-eaten apple over his shoulder.
