(27,630 posts)the only acceptable answer is: poor people are hopelessly stuck eating fattening starches devoid of nutrients. Suggest otherwise, and someone will call you insensitive to the plight of the poor.
Well, I have been eating nutritious home cooked meals for very little money for years. I am here to tell everyone that it is possible to eat well when you're struggling with money.
Of course, not everyone is able to carry heavy bags of vegetables home (I do. I walk to the store). And some people are disabled. Some people don't have cooking facilities, etc. So there are some limitations for some people.
But nobody can tell me that poor people have to be obese and malnourished because they can only afford to eat the shittiest food, because it isn't true.
