No problem but my point was that it's easy to eat well cheaply in America. Many people have gotten hooked on convenience foods - which yes, are very expensive. But with even basic cooking skills, you can purchase the raw ingredients, cook them yourself, and eat like a king - even on a meager income.

Ironically, I often stand behind welfare people in the supermarket line and they have their carts filled with nothing but junk like frozen pre-prepared foods that they heat up in the microwave. Absolute over-priced garbage that not only keeps you poor but makes you unhealthy as well.

The ones I’ve seen have several carts overflowing with lobster, shrimp, steaks, wine, Coke etc, and they take it all to an $85,000 Caddy Escalade. How do they do that on EBT Cards?
