Because most of them are spin offs. A few people say something similiar and it spurns another post for us to debate on. Some of us find it interesting.

I find it interesting that some of the most vocal people are the most ignorant on the subject. Either most ignorant or least empathetic.

Sloppy Joes are delicious!

Yes! They are delicious but that's the only thing we ate growing up. We were very poor

I mean the actual products, meals, restaurants

Kale salad, sushi, sundried tomatoes.... so middle class.

Sushi??? Can you tell me what you rich people eat? Just curious.

I have witnessed real poverty all over the world (and as a PP said - right here in America too!) and it is depressing that this is amusing to anyone. I have met farmers who were grateful to have been taught to rotate crops so that they were able to provide something other than potatoes all year long for their families. And when I say provided potatoes, it means keep whatever little was left over after selling what they could to have some kind of income.

Poor food means a little watered down gruel because the poor starving kids could not digest much more than that.

Poor food means breastfeeding your children until they are 5 or six because it is the most nutrition they will get in the day otherwise.

Poor food means programs in sub-Saharan Africa that provide families with a chicken so the kids can have an egg every so often.

I could go on and on, but it would probably be wasted on such an insensitive group.

Also - for all of you who consider yourself so well-mannered and worldly, this is just tasteless.

Thanks for weighing in. I hope your sainthood is approved soon.

Apple juice is not really any better.

Regardless of what you can add to the discussion, you're dismissed as ignorant, out of touch, lacking empathy, etc. etc. As far as I can gather, other posters blame you for their (sadder) lot in life.

Why did the poster feel the need to note her HHI is 500k? Why is that relevant? You don't think that telling people how wealthy you are is classless and comes off as snobbery?

Perhaps the wealthy are all low-carb/Paleo and wouldn't be caught DEAD eating tubers. Those god-foresaken things.

LOL!!! I know, hotdogs! Forbidden fruit!

Also, the snobbiness makes me want to stuff my feelings with pizza.

I came across this old thread and just wanted to say that DC goes to an expensive private school and because of Covid they’ve not been serving lunches this year.

Well, most kids come to school with lunchables, oreos, Caprisun, all kinds of junk snacks. And these are wealthy families.

So maybe it’s a myth that wealthy people eat well?

They're just not good at packing lunches. That's our go-to for field trips.

We ate a lot of Murray’s as a kid. Mom drove about an hour to stock up.
