George Orwell wrote about how poor people would rather spend a nickel on a candy bar over a far healthier apple, be cause they felt they needed a little luxury in their lives.

To: Mark was here

Reminds me of some liberal do-gooder about thirty five years ago who went to South America to help the poor people.
He helped a poor man harvest and sell his crops, then the poor man went and bought himself a Coca Cola!
The lib was horrified as he felt the poor man was enriching US corporations. He himself showed his “moral superiority” by buying some locally produced milk to drink.
