[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I immigrated from Europe, one thing I have noticed that derails healthy eating in America, lots of people can't cook and don't have any inclination to learn. Yes, it's possible to eat healthy on a low budget but you need to know how to cook from scratch or be willing to learn. I think it will really help poor communities if they are given some lessons in basic cooking, although these days everyone is on internet and recipes/information is so readily available.[/quote]

This is the Op. Someone else mentioned that in the comments. My mother grew up cooking very simple cheap food. She grew up very poor. I learned to cook from her as a child. That is why I know that a lot (not all) of poor people could eat healthier on a small budget. My mother was not well educated, she was low income, she worked full time in a demanding job, she did not have much free time, and she did not have a car. The key was that she could cook and she was willing to eat the same meals several times a week. She also had a cultural aversion to "American food."
