(Cheap Eats: Cookbook Shows How To Eat Well On A Food Stamp Budget)
- duxup 7y agoI don't know if you're pointing out a contradiction or not but I'll say I don't think those two articles are necessarily a contradiction. I hate the "Ditching processed foods won't be easy" article as it doesn't define anything. Lots of thing are possible, there is information out there, but still might not be "easy".
- i_don_t_know 7y agoIt started out as a contradiction because I thought the argument was that it's expensive. But I guess I should have read the article first. As usual it's more complicated. Other factors are that it takes effort (it's work to some people after an already potentially long work day) and time (to shop, to cook and for everyone to be at home at the same time). And I suspect those are bigger barriers than just the financials.
