    A tiny bag of chips is over $5 these days, and has less than 200 calories. Potatoes at fancy grocery stores are about $1/pound, and you can get them much cheaper if you go to “poor people” stores.

    You can’t get a double cheeseburger for $1 anymore.

    It used to be true, they got people hooked on junk and fast food in the early 2000s, but those days are gone, people spend WAY TOO MUCH on junk food.

    It’s absolutely cheaper to buy fresh and eat healthy. It won’t feel as good in your brain as good because it won’t have all the addictive shit that makes junk food bad, but if you learn to cook it’ll taste better.

    Even lower income people have time to cook, but people would rather feed another addiction (spend hours on TV and TikTok, but one hour cooking is too much) and ordering delivery. Uber Eats sure doesn’t profit off rich people only…
