Slow down, the vast majority of those eating fast food are not poor. They are not living in a good desert. They have car anyway, and access to groceries isn't a problem. They have a house or apartment with a working kitchen so they can store everything.

Costco is cheap, but so is Aldi with much smaller package sizes - I don't have a costco membership because Aldi is so close it isn't worth going often (we go about once a year, but with a friend who has a membership). Every place I've lived have also had discount grocery stores (Most Americans like me do not live in a good desert) - and the fast food just down the street still had a lot of customers.

The above are the people I'm talking about shocking me. They have the means to get cheaper and better meals at hand, but they don't use it.

Don't get me wrong, we should have conversations about poverty. However lets not mistake the majority situation for poverty in conversations. There are people who have all means to do eat better available and choose not to.
