| Topic | Why do low income people say vegetables and fruits are expensive? |

Whether legitimately too busy, or just lying to themselves, the problem isn't the cost of healthy food, but the fact that it takes time to prepare it as a meal versus sitting in your car, driving in a little circle, and getting a burger and fries. I don't think being poor has any correlation to not knowing how to cook and cooking. If you were raised to cook for yourself and your family, you will do it. And poor people in general are frugal and they know it saves money at least. I do think time(or at least making time) has a lot to do with it, and not knowing how to cook/living with family so you didn't have to. Seems like cooking for baby boomers and past generations is much higher than gen y and after. --- Less is more. Everything you want, isn't everything you need. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
