Health foods are sometimes more expensive than your basic genetically-modified, science-tampered, chemically treated food. So if you want to consume food that’s good for you, you’ll need to work harder than those eat junk. Small farmers can barely make a living to produce food. Maybe then it’s cheaper to have a garden for yourself, or for a small group like family or neighbors. This is probably the best solution if you have land, but if you need to purchase an area to make your food you might end up paying more for it than just going to the store, considering taxes and fees for owning land, water, and time to care for your crops.

If you eat fatty food, you will die. If you eat like a carnivore, you will die. If you eat healthy, you will die. If you don’t eat at all, you will die. This sad fact doesn’t really do anything to this argument (I’m not quite sure if I’m even arguing anything). It seems that eating and cost are closely linked. What is the cheapest thing I can buy while having a well-rounded diet and be filled?

It’s not that poor people can’t eat. Going without cable and other lesser priorities will usually suffice for a minimum wage worker if there aren’t other obligations of other necessities. Getting a subscription to a warehouse like Costco should save you money if it’s all used (small families could work out a partnership with those they know to split costs and surplus). Even the homeless can eat for free, right out of the garbage! Not very sanitary, but it keeps people from starving. I’m not really going anywhere in this aimless babble, so chime in with any of your thoughts…
