Hard to cook a meal when you can't pay to have the electricity turned on.
If they are homeless buying fruits, vegetables,and cuts of meat wouldn't make any sense now would it, no place to store it, or cook it. Homeless people sure wouldn't have access to watch a cooking show either.
Poor people don't use the food for comfort. When your poor there is no comfort you go buy and eat what fills your stomach has not a damn thing to do with comfort or sugar rushes.
Volunteer some time at shelter your will see poor through different eyes. This is where I donate my time Homeless Women's Services -- Catholic Charities -- Diocese of San Diego
I am not talking about Homeless-----just Poor, and there is a difference. Of course their are obese and fat rich people, but the poor have an over abundance due to high carb, high sugar diets.
