I said college students ride to the store on their bikes all the time... (which means "often" in US conversational English). I did not say that all college students always eat Ramen noodles all the time. I bet you had a hard time with the SATs... you are clearly far too smart for common colloquial communication.
And even you concede that you know college students eat Ramen often. I know a few students who will tell you their staple diet is Ramen. If they were to live on food stamps, they know how to spin it out with Ramen, which they can easily purchase using their bicycles.

You're right. It's interesting how everything gets ignored, as if humans magically could get meals |

'Not balanced, not nutritious, not good' - so, not 'well' |

True, as I noted, the food is not eating "well" |

Don't blame me for posts/words you regret --I asked if you could eat well and you said "Easy" |

The people with all the answers should try it with food allergies or medical diet needs. |
