When money is tight my family doesn’t eat at any kind of restaurant. We only eat out if we have a little extra cash in the budget, AND we if choose to spend it in that manner. Food prepared at home can be very inexpensive and very good. Restaurant meals, even “cheap” fast food items, are a luxury. All I can say is poor people have poor ways.
No kidding. If people don’t like it they should learn to cook and eat whatever they want.
How about restricting EBT use to legitimate necessities.
Here’s a thought: if you don’t like it, don’t buy it.
I thought it was conservatives force feeding them candy that made ‘poor’ folks fat.
And making them buy lottery tickets is done by the Koch brothers.
And making them smoke is that evil Joe Camel.
And making them have kids they can’t afford is because they can’t get free contraception due to the republican
‘war on women’.
His favorite was a large slice of Pizza and an Iced Tea at Sam's Club.
He, at six, eats more junk food than I would like, loves whole milk, rather than the water his mother gives him, and all of the high fat foods I feed him when I baby sit.
His body build is typical of my family at his age and he is very active.
I think this article was intended to be sarcastic humor and was actually Howie Mandell.
Maybe the author can team up with Moochelle and open up an arugula and tofu stand in one of these developments and see how well they do in the “food deserts”.
On the contrary, I don’t wonder at all...I know exactly why they’re fat...they take our tax dollars (EBT) and instead of buying groceries and making meals at home, they go to these establishments.
Poor people can make a decision to use their God given brain to educate themselves instead of watching God knows what on tv while munching on their SNAP/EBT provided crisps and other junk food.
They can choose to get off their FAT a$$es and go walking around the block to burn off calories, moderate their consumption, whatever...
Many, however, as is apparent, elect not too...
Can’t generate much sympathy for willful choices and decisions...
Fast food joints carry all kinds of salads and will, if the demand is there, carry more options.
They sell what the market in that area demands.
I decided to moderate my intake of junk...I do have my vices, but I also choose carefully where I eat and exercise to compensate for my caloric intake.
Choices and decisions is what it all boils down to. RE: the Trader Joe’s fracas...
LOL!

The article compares apples to oranges. It’s comparing relative quality and advertising of fast food joints with sit-down restaurants. You find more of the former and less of the latter in slum neighborhoods because that’s what the market there dictates, one can hardly blame the restaurants for that.
But blame them they shall because it’s what class-warfare leftists do.
THAT’S enough to make anyone go on a diet...RIGHT NOW!
The poor in public housing are too stupid to chose for themselves so Moochelle to the rescue. Make decision FOR them. And yes... Chances are. If you’re on public housing, you’re not too bright.
Linen service costs money, but since the dipstick left wants employers to increase wages and pay for Obamacare, it’s an expense that can be dispensed with.
This article is just nannystate tripe, a solution in search of a problem to justify the paychecks of our overlords and the experts they employ to manage us.
Is that McDonald’s new Surly Meal?
