Let them eat burgers! Austrian chancellor says low-income families should eat at McDonald’s - Lemmy

It’s not healthy, but it’s cheap: a hamburger at McDonald’s — €1.40, if I buy fries with it, €3.50.

3.50€ for a meal isn’t cheap and nothing a poor person can afford in a regular basis. I can cook a great meal for under 2€ that doesn’t consist of trash. What a detached asshole.

If I could afford almost 4 quid per meal I’d be laughing! Think of all the nice food I could eat!

We grow all of our vegetables for most of the year. Potatoes, carrots, leeks, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, beetroot, lots of berries for jams, etc etc. I don’t know how we’d manage without that.

We live in the outskirts of a major city in England, not a stereotypically poor blackwater somewhere. This is how bad things are these days.
