People make fun of this. But if you are on a poverty budget, you have to buy cheap calorically rich food as you would starve on expensive healthy options. Not to mention, most poor people live in grocery food deserts where the closest food market is a dollar general that doesn't carry fresh/healthy food.
Edit: Since people seem to think they've solved the food insecurity for 34 million Americans. I'll continue to go with organization international and domestic that actually studied this.
Average moderator shopping cart.
And that's exactly where the billionaires and ruling class want you.
Diabeetus be like: Don't worry, it won't be long to wait.
Over the last 10 years or so, some kinds of convenience foods have gone up a lot. Like some types of
"value meal" is over $10. That's a bad scene if you have several people to feed.
You can beat that by cooking your own, but if you have been working a 12 hour shift that is a harsh scenario.
It just seems like people, and I'm referring to the U.S., getting food should not be such a press.
No wonder u guys fat and stupid. U eat exclusively junk food.
Ainβt no way thatβs 200 bucks
This is yet another one of those arguments where somehow EVERYBODY ELSE is guilty but NOT ME, ohhhh no not me. I'm perfect. Haha /s
No, you really can't.
This is what my Dad's shopping cart would look like when I was a kid (well, less sweets and chips, more canned food). He would always work 68 hour weeks, so really didn't have the time and energy to cook for me and him. He would only cook on holidays.
Luckily, he now has a stay-at-home wife that likes to cook, and I don't have to work those kinds of hours, so neither of us eat like that anymore.
