I mean, it's partially true. In cities there is such a thing as "food deserts" where it is hard to find fresh affordable groceries. But I admit, part of it is also just poor education/culture.
In the area I live, there are no affordable American grocery stores. There is, however, McDonald's and a Wendy's with cheap fast food.
If you are in the know, however, there is an affordable Latin American grocer that sells bulk rice, lentils, beans, tortillas, even some produce, etc. I almost never see Americans in there, but I see tons of El Salvadorian immigrants. Their culture involves cooking from raw ingredients more than ours though so I suspect they save a lot of money that way. Lentils, rice, and beans are way better for you than McChickens/fries.
- bluedino 7y agoIt's funny that the poor immigrants cook/eat just fine while the poor Americans who were born here just do the $ for 4 at Wendy's
- NotPaidToPost 7y agoQED. As I said in my now flagged previous comment (why?) cost of food is not an issue at all.
