I'm interested to know where you live that this is true! The only reasons I can imagine poverty would lead to poor food choice is lack of education or lack of facilities to prepare meals (ie. those living in transient conditions).
I come from Australia and can whole heartedly say that if you know the basics of food preparation and have access to a kitchen eating healthily is like a fifth of the cost of eating McDonalds!

- cullenking 16y agoSorry for the late reply. I live in Portland Oregon, USA. Last time I checked, a person can eat at McDonalds for $1-2 per meal if they don't mind eating the same thing all the time. It's hard without buying bulk staples like rice, beans etc to buy and cook for a family for that cheap.
