OK, define "junk food" then, not to mention what you mean by "processed foods." Almost all food sold today is processed in some way.I didn't say fast food. I said junk food.
The poor people you know is a very small sample size, but regardless, I meant lazy in terms of their diet/meal prep.Most poor people are not lazy. The poor people I know work 2-3 jobs.
Now you're moving the goalposts. First you said "poor people," now you've changed it to "chronic homeless." Those are not interchangeable terms.The chronic homeless
Said the pot.How ignorant you seem to be on this topic.
And there's Exhibit A. Hamburger and pork are hardly comparable in terms of fat. Regardless, meats are not a required part of a diet.fatty meats like hamburger and pork.
Exhibit B. Water is cheaper and far healthier.The cheapest drinks are sodas,
Most restaurants feed the homeless whether they want to or not. It's called dumpster diving. But what this McDonald's is doing is much better.This is awesome! I hope that maybe they can eventually start feeding the homeless every day.

Not all. As I was saying, if you shop around the edge of the store and don't use the aisles, you get fresh fruits and veggies, lean meats, milk... I like to throw together a stir fry of vegetables and chicken.OK, define "junk food" then, not to mention what you mean by "processed foods." Almost all food sold today is processed in some way.
Pound for pound, meat is the easiest source of protein. Dairy is another good source.Regardless, meats are not a required part of a diet.
I certainly drink a lot of water, that and iced tea and a little milk for protein. But our culture has trained people that they need drinks, unfortunately. And so people load up on fructose, whether it is from sodas or juices or mixed drinks. Even wines and beers have non-nutritive carbs.Water is cheaper and far healthier.
I understand what you are saying.I realize that the average food stamp budget won't cover fresh fruit, vegetables, and quality meat and fish, but perhaps if people on food stamps receive some free food--even if it is from McDonald's or, better yet, Panera--their food stamps will stretch far enough to allow them to make healthier choices.
Oh, fast food is outrageously expensive. I was comparing real food to store-bought junk food like pasta, cereal, bread, soda, you know, things in boxes and cans.Actually fast food is not cheap any more either. Might be cheaper to buy raw vegetables and eat them.
Yeah, I didn't understand the "fast food is expensive" comment either.I don't know where you shop but I can tell you fast food is much cheaper than that health food stuff. I always get off the dollar menu
I live in San Bernardino County, Southern California, and where I live we no longer have a dollar menu. Lucky you!I don't know where you shop but I can tell you fast food is much cheaper than that health food stuff. I always get off the dollar menu
