Don't forget:
- the rice cooker
- electricity to cook the rice
- potable water for the rice
- storage containers for the leftover rice
- refrigeration or other means of preserving the prepared food
- a secure place to store your month's food supply from other hungry people and/or cleaners
- mental health while you eat the same plain rice with bare your hands for a month and society judges you for "not pulling yourself up by your bootstraps."
- umvi 6y agoThere's a big difference between "starvation" and "hunger"/"food insecurity". You can make all the excuses you want, but nobody is dying of starvation in the USA. The number of annual starvation deaths in the US is so small we don't even track it, and the people that do die of starvation aren't starving because they are poor, but sick (i.e. cancer makes them stop eating). I'm not advocating a plain rice diet 24/7. I'm just saying calories are so cheap in America that obesity is a bigger problem for the poor than starvation. Furthermore, even the poorest in the US have access to the things in your list if they want them.
