Hey go fuck yourself for trying to straw man the legitimate issue of poverty and food insecurity in America with some bullshit
My first thought when I saw this picture was that he was pointing out that you can’t buy healthy food that won’t kill you with just $200, but after seeing the comments I’m guessing they were trying to mock people who are struggling financially?
Cause frankly if this is how they’re planning to live off $200, this diet is absolutely going to kill them.
This meme isn’t funny at all, I agree. I sometimes struggle to get healthy options because the prices around me keep going up. I’ve switched to cheaper grocery stores, got good at cooking, buy store brands, but I have to keep saying “that’s too expensive now, better buy something cheaper”. I don’t eat a lot of processed food, but I also have a million other things to do each day, and though I’m skilled at cooking, I barely have the time. And, many people have it far harder than I do. A lot of people in this thread are too busy laughing at the shit joke to realize it’s punching down and blaming the poor for being poor.
Did you not see the stupid caption on top? It’s clearly designed to push the idea that poor people are poor because they spend their money on bullshit, never mind the fact that there’s no fucking context, somebody just took a picture of trash in a cart and decided to say “fuck poor people” and any other interpretation is either stupid or disingenuous

How is this making fun of poverty all of those items are more expensive than healthier options.
Those are all name brand treats this isn’t poverty this is just spending all your money on junk food.
