That’s just not true in the US.

Am I the only one who gets annoyed at these fantasy memes?

At best it represents the meme equivalent to news sensationalism headlines. Rustles my jimmies.

As of 2023, there are over 6,500 food deserts in the United States. The USDA estimates that 18.8 million people, or about 6.1% of the U.S. population, live in a food desert.

For the vast majority of people, you can get whatever you want. We should do everything in our power to ensure as much of that 6% gets closer access to healthy food.

Are you saying you can’t use less beef when cooking at home? Or share the 2L of soda? You just used less food.

You can cook 4 burgers + fries for the family in 20 minutes. Many times quicker than driving and waiting in line at peak times. This guy does it all the time youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-tYKWQOe4YMbM7A7LELOs… (sometimes wins sometimes loses).

You need a pan, an oven, and 5 qt pot, a knife, spatula and you can basically make whatever you want. There are very very few Americans without the means to do so. www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=53439. 99.5% of households have a refrigerator. According to HUD there is a homeless population of about 500k. Even if you allow for generous rounding and assume I missing some populations right there… The majority of people have every ability to make a good meal at home for cheap.

I listened to 5 minutes of the same arguments I’ve heard quite often. I made assumptions on the other 45 minutes. I assume he says that going shopping every week is prohibitive as well as cooking your own food.

I don’t agree with any of those assessments outside of a very small populations in the US. The overwhelming majority have abundant access to a diverse set of healthy food at incredibly cheap prices

You are going to have to be more specific. I can’t deal with guy for 50 minutes even when I agree with him 😰

No it’s not. Not in the majority of America. Who do people make this nonsense up?

A double quarter pounder with cheese meal is $11 after tax. $33 to feed my family.

I can feed my entire family on slightly more than than a single burger.

1.5 lbs/ beef $6.50

28oz bag frozen fries $3

Let’s say a dollar for condiments and pantry items. $1

Martin’s rolls: $2

2l of coke $1

$13.50 to feed 3 people.

I can get chicken thighs for$2.50/lbs and make pulled chicken considerably cheaper.

Never really was, nor are you provided with any context to understand.

I mean in this case, no not really, I’m here and there really isn’t anyway to stop that. For others the impact might be greater.
