i was grew up in a bottom 50% household. most of my childhood diet was sugary snacks, canned/boxed foodstuffs, and frozen meat/vegetables. fresh food was largely reserved for holidays. my mother used to spend about 60/week to feed a family of four, and this was after coupons and in the 1990s
I buy vegetables and meat mostly. are those luxury foods now? Last I checked that was just food.
fresh food is a luxury in the usa, yes.
