from the wayback machine on page 2 - 68$/week for a family of 12 - you think none of these items or the american equivalent are beyond being obtained by the vast majority of americans, poor or not?
If you pulled your head out of your ass and actually read any of the literature around food security in American urban and rurban areas, you'd know that fresh, healthy alternatives to shit fast food and convenience store foods are not easily obtainable in communities that are suffering disproportionately from obesity and other diet related illnesses.
Rural areas, no. Always been that way. Grow your own like yo pappy did, fuckerz!
The Rich have the same problem in rural areas, BTW...unless they can afford to take the chopper to the Big City Whole Foods...
In the city, tho? Bullshit. Good, whole foods available cheap and close by in ANY urban neighborhood in the US.
