Over 60% of people in poverty do not work at all or work one part-time job, let alone 2 jobs. Of the 40% that is left, nearly all work a single (low-paying) full-time job. The old canard about poor people working multiple jobs and still on the edge of being homeless is true for a very tiny fraction of people. Btw, 12 hrs. a day for 5 days a week at minimum wage, puts a single person at over double the poverty level (over $22k) in the US...just saying. I grew up very poor (from a family of migrant workers) and I can say from personal experience and observing many, many thousands of poor people over a couple of decades, that it is almost exclusively an educational problem. The easy stuff is easy (don't eat tubs of lard and ice-cream), but even professional nutritionalists can not agree on what a healthy diet is, how can you expect people with an average 10th grade or less education to do it? Those fish fingers are marked "PACKED WITH OMEGA-3s!!!", the fries have "HALF YOUR DAILY REQUIREMENT OF POTASSIUM!!! LOADED WITH VITAMINS!!!" With millions spent on spinning shit food into something that sounds healthy to people, they are being misled and confused because nutrition is complicated and labeling is misleading for highly processed foods. That frozen lean-cuisine dinner in the next freezer is better balanced, cost the same as microwave fries, takes the same amount of time to nuke, but says "Only 410 calories!" instead of "calcium-enriched" like the fries do, but how to properly judge the differences without a strong background in nutrition?
