      Don’t forget you also have to take the time to cook that food.

      It’s much more time saving to cook something that’s already half prepared, like a taco kit, hamburger helper, or chicken nuggets than it is to prepare a whole dinner from scratch on a weekday to feed your kids.

      Also, even the best grocery stores around my place have pretty bad produce that are either half rotten or too unripe to eat right away and have no taste.

      Blame the victims all you want. But you’re wrong.

            Hahahaha I love how they deleted all their comments after being called out. It’s a shame though. Now no one will ever know what they said.

      Spoken like a rich snob who has never had to work 3 jobs to make ends meet.

      Prepping fresh food takes time most Americans don’t have. Our system is set up so only the wealthy have time to cook.

      We need better safety nets and higher pay in order for people to simply have enough time to eat.

      Very few Americans don’t have access to inexpensive (relative to processed garbage) high quality food.

      This is patently false. I would really recommend you read up on food deserts (or watch a video about them). These are very common, especially in poorer areas.
