[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the OP. Wow. [b]This has gone off the rails way faster than I thought it would[/b]. I absolutely do not think poor people are lazy, unmotivated, etc. I grew up poor. My family in Africa is poor. My family has the hardest working people I have ever met.

I think that it possible for the many of the working poor (of course not everyone in every circumstance) to eat healthier. If they don't, of course it doesn't mean they are lazy, unmotivated, or whatever judgment you would like to attribute to me. People have lots of things going on in their lives that they may not be able to control.

I am not poor anymore, but I can absolutely feed my family of 5 on $100 per week if we don't eat out.[/quote]

You new here?[/quote]

I call bull, what are you buying and cooking that can feed a family of four on only $100 a week? DH and I, plus our baby is a family of 3 and it costs us $200 a week to eat. This is without buying fast food.

2-3 meals per day and snack items with current grocery prices are not inexpensive.

The OP's initial post is incredibly non-American. I don't want to hear about your rag story and fake morality about barely scraping by, it's disgusting. [/quote]
