[quote=Anonymous]I grew up poor. My single mom made minimum wage her entire life as a personal support worker. She is from southern Africa and only has a 6th grade education. We ate very healthy food. What made it work was that she cooked from scratch and we ate the same food several days in a row. She managed the cost of food by preparing simple healthy dishes (stews and cornmeal porridge, or stews and rice). She managed the time it takes to shop and cook by cooking one or two big pots of stew per week, so there was not so much variety in what we ate. We didn't have a car, so we took the bus to the grocery store once a week. She got paid every Thursday and on payday we would have a treat (maybe a pizza or burgers). Anyway, she came from a different place and a different time, but that is how you can be poor and eat healthy.[/quote]
