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]
Exactly. Growing up, we couldn’t afford that stuff.[/quote]
dp  This is 2024, not 1974.  A 2 liter bottle of soda is cheaper than a half gallon of milk.

I also remember soda being expensive when I was younger. We only started getting it when my dad started making more when I was a teen.  McD was also not that relatively cheap.

This is not the case today.

A  little carton of fresh strawberries cost $4.99 (and sometimes $6.99). It's not much of a snack to last a week, and actually, it wouldn't even last week because it would start to get moldy.  A bag of chips is $2.99 and can last a week.[/quote]

A bag of chips doesn’t last a week. Chips cost between $6-$7 if not more per bag. Show me $2.99 chips.[/quote]
You're not comparing like for like in terms of size.

A small carton with a dozen strawberries is $5.  A small bag of chips that has more than a dozen chips is $2.99.[/quote]

Fresh frozen strawberries are much cheaper than fresh and nutritious.

Apples 
oranges
celery
carrots

what’s wrong with cucumbers and tomatoes and dressing as a side? [/quote]
Frozen strawberries are gross.  Also, how many nice grocery stores do you think exist in low income areas?  How many wealthy teens do you see eating celery sticks?[/quote]

Someone has a strawberry fetish.

There are tons of fruit besides strawberries. [/quote]
Indeed, and they are all perishable, and not readily available year round at grocery stores in low income areas, unless you think they should just eat rotting fruit.[/quote]

Fat sick people shouldn’t drink soda! The right wingers want to destroy America! [/quote]

MAGA wants big government to monitor the buying habits of the poor or they ideally would just have people starve and die. They don’t care about children, only fetuses.[/quote]

Leftist want to get poor people and their children addicted to high fat, high sugar, highly processed junk food and soda so they will vote for democrats. Leftists know these foods are extremely unhealthy and actually contribute and cause diseases that lead to early and painful death.

However, leftists want the votes so they happily kill people for votes.[/quote]
