how to shop
Ah yes, can't help the poor because their lifestyles are so....declasse.
As far as what people eat goes, yes organic veggies are more expensive per calorie than junk food. But eating healthy isn't black and white -- you don't have to eat like a foodie aesthete, living on local organic produce and pasture-raised eggs, to eat healthier. There are lots of cheap, nutritious foods in the grocery store, if you know where to find them and prepare them. I think ThoughtsofSusan has a good point about learning how to shop. This is a basic life skill that ought to be at least addressed in school (along with basic financial management and comprehensive sex education).
