General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: I'd like a minute to talk about food .. in light of the Blue Apron thread [View all]There's an incredible disconnect. Even with my left leaning friends, when it comes to food there's this rush to judgment and constant yammering on about "healthy food" and "teaching the poor to eat better".
Even on the left side we forget healthy food is not just an expense (literally everyone knows this) but more importantly a time expense that many people can't afford. Shift work, multiple jobs, having to rely on transit or just a commute (which depending on where you are could add an easy 1 to 2 hours to your workday for that commute or use of transit), having little kids that need picking up or dropping off from daycare, helping older kids with homework, and doing basic household chores. All that doesn't leave time that can be spent baking your own bread, cakes, making meals that require more than 30 minutes.
I've been there. I didn't even have kids but between 2 jobs and taking transit I prettt much only had time to eat whatever I could quickly.
Many people aren't just short on cash, but short on time as well.
