Vegetables are cheap. Beans are cheap. Chicken and turkey are cheap.
McDonalds is not cheap, but it’s easy. It astounds me how many people eat out almost every meal.
- vertbhrtn 6y agoBeans and all that isn't cheap overall: it takes will, effort and time to figure out what to buy and how to cook it. If that was packaged into cheap ready to eat burgers, spiced with something to make it more tolerable, then poor folks would switch to it. This approach isn't economically sound, though: it has 0 profit margins and it cuts deep into the fastfood & healthcare owners.
