It's cheap to stuff your face with fast food crap. Going to a store

to buy fresh fruit, vegetables and meat is freakin' expensive.



The lower our income, the worse our diet. You can't even feed your

family crap on minimum wage, which is becoming the case for more and

more Americans. Average age of fast food workers at McDonalds is 29.



Welcome to the new America, where money is held by the rich and the

rest of the country can go **** themselves.



It is obvious you don't eat a lot of fast food.



For the price of McDonalds for 4 ($20), I can buy a whole chicken ($6)

a few potatoes ($2) and a package of fresh broccoli ($2) and still

have $10 left over.

I won't even try to explain how much rice and beans that will buy.



People go to fast food joints because they are lazy.

I was behind a gal in the groce3ry check-out and she had a cart load of chips, soda, candy,various other snacks, a gallon of milk and some sugar laced cereal, but nothing else substantial.

The bill was about 60+ bucks. She paid for it with a WIC card....

This shows that low-income doesn't 'force' people to eat unhealthy stuff....
