Quote:Such nonsense. You can eat fresh veggies and fruit from a mid-scale store like Publix for 20$ a week or less. People eat poorly because they can because we are a wealthy society suffering a crisis of overabundance.

 

 

You're so full of it. You must have no clue how poor people actually live. Are people supposed to eat nothing but fruits and vegetables? If you add that cost onto the rest of a grocery bill the cost is very high. Just by buying the basics anymore of bread, milk, cheese, cereal, juice, and some kind of meat for one meal or two will cost over $25 at Walmart and that is the cheapest grocery store around where I live. When you figure that some people get paid once every two weeks (if they have jobs) and you need to eat at least one meal a day, not to mention the gas it takes to get to the grocery store, there goes a large part of the paycheck of someone making on average of $15/hr. and that's a pretty good paying job where I live.
