[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Junk food is cheap. Healthy food is expensive. Work from there.[/quote]

Chips and soda are not cheap! Frozen pizzas are not cheap! What junk food do you think is cheap? [/quote]

They are cheap when you're:

1. Doing your shopping at convenience stores because you live in a food desert and the grocery store is multiple bus rides away.

2. You work multiple jobs and don't have time to prepare meals, but your children still need to eat.

Buying healthy food is cheaper over time. It is not cheaper when you consider that it doesn't last as long, requires equipment to cook it, a skilled person to cook it, and time.

You all have clearly never been poor. When I was in my early 20's I lived in a basement apartment with a sink, a toaster oven, and a mini fridge. I didn't have a car, so I got a lot of my food at 7-11 or the maybe once a month trip someone would drive me to a grocery store, and still I had little room for perishables. [/quote]
