This! It has nothing to do with your race and everything to do with your health. And I might add nothing to do with poverty. At least not in this country. You can easily consume the same amount dollar wise eating healthy. I don’t have money and I eat fruits and vegetables and chix breast that I buy at Walmart that cost probably $3 a meal vs McDonald’s which is probably $7.  I bet if I spent a week with a low income family and went shopping with them,  taught them easy healthy cheap meals, they’d end up spending less than they normally do! [/quote]

You are assuming many things. One, that they have access to a kitchen. Two, they have access to cooking utensils. Three, they have access to a grocery store, a place to store what they buy and a way to get the food home from the grocery store. Four, that they have the time to cook a nutritious dinner.

Eating at McDonald’s may be more expensive than what you cook at home, but it may be all that is available to them.[/quote]

I didn’t know we were referring to the homeless.  But then again homeless people really can’t afford McDonald’s either.[/quote]
