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.
