Being poor condemns you to eat a lot and bad
This is sooooo wrong!
China has been poor for many years - the entire country. Even after 30 years of economic growth in special economic zones, in large cities, it still leaves a lot of poor people in the country side.
Poor people in China are not under such industrialization of food supply nor are brainwashed into eating manufactured "food" that are unhealthy or even harmful.
Hello @freedomshift , you have a good argument, but with this post I am referring to great commercial powers such as the one that reflects u.s.a or most of Latin America where junk food or fast food are the order of the day. Thanks for your comment!
I understand what you are doing in the body of the text sir. However, the title is wrong!
People, rich or poor, must take responsibility to eat healthy.
I have the money to eat more as well as make unhealthy choice by being lazy such as buying and eating processed food and not pay attention to the healthy and less convenient and not promoted foods.
However, I was able to eat healthy on less than $200 per month. It meant no sugary drinks, no bottled water, no alcohol , no cigarettes (I never smoke), no sugar, no salt, no butter, no refined white rice, no "wonder bread".
I buy fresh or frozen and uncooked vegetables, fresh and uncooked fish, I buy ground coffee, I buy fresh fruit, eggs, sweet potato / yams. I also eat more in the morning and typically do not eat anything other than fruit at night.
I lost weight, have lots of energy, and eat healthy.
Except for ground coffee and an occasional canned chicken noodle soup or canned baked beans, I do not buy or eat out of cans or boxes.
No snack foods such as potato chips either. The only other food that comes in a jar or a can are nuts, unsalted or sea salt.
So, I have lived on less than $7 / day and cooked all my food and still ate healthy with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and nuts and eggs.
To start eating healthy - turn off that television and deprogram yourself!
TV dinners are bad for you!
McDonald's are bad for you!
Coca Cola's, Pepsi's, candy, hot dogs ... they are all bad for you!
