Just because I do my best to feed my family well doesnt mean that I realize that it is so easily possible for the majority of others to do the same. And right now with many facing financial troubles, I sure as shit am not going to shame anyone for just getting some kind of substance in to their bellies at this point.
You shouldnt make assumptions... I grew up on nothing but food bank food.
And it hasnt nothing to do with just poor people, but not everyone lives in the country or in places where access to natural food stores, farmers' markets, butchers who sell directly to consumers, to farms, etc either. Some people only have access to local grocery stores and unfortunately the majority of EVERYTHING (Even produce) in grocery stores is NOT unprocessed.
Your thread with him was enlightening and entertaining, so at least it wasn't a waste of time.
I've seen food banks..it's really scary how poorly people choose what they take home. All the name brand crap goes first. My uncle was eligible for a food bank for a while and he'd get good meat and organic labeled products because no one wanted them.
It's with restaurants too..an unassuming local Italian restaurant that has real food gets horrible reviews saying "it's frozen food, go to Olive Garden instead' There's also the people who prefer Panda and Chipotle to the mom and pop Chinese places and actual taquerias
Hot pockets? I dont eat that shit.
