I think you're being purposefully obtuse, but here's why:
- SNAP / EBT / Foodstamps for people making so little money. Add onto that, Food banks.
- Farm subsidies for many cheap foodstuffs (Corn) causing massive cheap, albeit junk food that can sustain.
- I can literally grow food in the ground for "free", put it in mason jars and save my food for a year. I can't open a fresh can of broken-arm at the fixed cost.
- Food is fungible, if I'm hungry, I can wait 2, 3, 8+ hours to eat, or have a quick snack until meal time. It's not like I need a Big Mac infusion in the next 10 seconds or else I'll die from lack of special sauce.
- You have many options of food. You can eat Soylent, rice&beans, or steak for every meal at various price points. You don't really get an ala carte when it comes to Chemotherapy.
- You can always eat monkey pellets [1]

- asimilator 4y ago> I can literally grow food in the ground for "free", put it in mason jars and save my food for a year. This is true only in an extremely pedantic, unrealistic kinda way. If it was easy/free everyone would be growing all their own food.
- germinalphrase 4y agoAt least here in the Midwest, people grow food all the time. Can’t grow strawberries in December, of course - but we eat up canned goods from friends/family throughout the winter.
