At the risk of being stricken by negative karma… I sympathize, really (having subsisted on zero means[1], however seeing redit posts of what $x buys in food which invariably contain cookies, potato chips, and soda makes me balk. Americans do not know how to take care of themselves. You have lost your way. There is this idea of lean living which applies to the wealthy and modest alike (without detracting from the plight of true impoverishment, which does exist.. and is not this!) [1] have you checked out your local freegans? Such as http://foodnotbombs.net/ http://foodnotbombs.net/ ; I’ve volunteered at food kitchens and free farmers markets, I know who’s wanting and who just doesn’t know how to care for themselves [menacing glare]. You are not the plucky resourceful America of generations past!
