As I understand it, you are attempting to misdirect via nit-pick. The comment you are replying to essentially asserted that the minimum wage is insufficient to cover the average total cost of living, expressed through the colloquialism of "feeding themselves and their families".
Your response is to nit-pick about the dollar amount the cost of food contributes to the cost of living and whether the minimum wage can provide that amount, presumably in an attempt to mislead incautious readers into believing that the minimum wage is sufficient to cover the total cost of living, when in fact it is not (it is only sufficient to cover some components of that cost).
That would be a fundamentally dishonest thing to do, so I'm certain you won't be doing that here, yes?
