People are addicted to convenience! Can't you just say they're fucking lazy. America has one of the lowest food cost per person in the world and fresh produce is not expensive. Poor people are fat because they have bad nutritional habits and many are lazy. Providing them with EBT cards is throwing fuel on a fire. Then, of course, we have to foot the bill for diabetes and other fat-related diseases which invariably develop. Brilliant!Yeah, that's a hackneyed mantra spouted by lefties when confronted with the fact that so many of the poor are fat. No, healthy food is not more expensive, though what you might call lazy food is.You're right...............you CAN buy a burger in America for around a dollar.
However........................that burger has a lot of unhealthy consequences, and one of them is obesity. Another one is diabetes, because that 1 dollar hamburger has a lot of unhealthy consequences.
Did you know that buying healthy food (such as fresh veggies and fresh meat) is more expensive than buying the processed crap that the corporations put out?
Might want to check into it sometime.
Google can be your friend (or any other search engine).

Healthy Food Isn't Necessarily More Expensive Than Junk Food, Study Finds
Tell ya what.................try to cook a healthy meal for a family of 3 (Father, Mother and 1 Child) for less than what you could fill them up on Mickey D's, or Burger King.
I'm guessing you can't, because fresh fruit, veggies and fresh meat are more expensive than the processed crap you get at a fast food venue.
Yeah................I compared them, and yeah, it's cheaper to eat at some fast food place than it is to cook my own, because the prices are high, and most people nowadays are addicted to convenience.
