You can really tell whoās never experienced poverty and food insecurity when it comes to discussions around food costs and how unhealthy food is cheaper. Some fucker always comes in with the price of likeā¦ lettuce orā¦ apples. And itās like yeah bitch but can you work an 11 hour shift after eating some salad and an apple!?! Find me something cheaper, and more filling than the broke ass staples of boxed mac and cheese, hot dogs, noodles, bread, beans, and rice. Iāll wait.
It also ignores the mental toll that poverty takes like maybe your home made veggie filled recipe isnāt crazy expensive but it also involves prep time and cooking time and organization in terms of fresh food that a lotta poor people canāt manage.
Not to mention if you can only afford to get to the store once every couple weeks via bus or cab then you canāt keep fresh veg on deck.
But ya know.. poor people are just dumb and lazy.
