Even regular non organic veggies are Not cheaper then fast food. Fast food will fill you up for hours. Eating veggie will fill you up for a short time and you need to keep eating them.
Considering that, as an example, the average cost of a value meal at a NYC area McDonalds is closing in on $10, while you can still get chicken for between $2-$3 a pound (or less) at many places and vegetables for less than that, I respectfully disagree.
This is an entirely hood thing. Even Adams is saying so.
And parents absolutely makes all the difference. Folks like you are the reason why we have a NYC with so much dysfunction.
You believe the poor are never at fault for their problems and the problems they cause for others and that everyone else has to take care of them leading to massive, never ending spending to fix their social problems that never fix anything and constantly need evermore money that only goes to waste, corruption and crazy burden for the working and businesses.
What hood thing? Why are you worried about how people feed their kids? It’s not your money or any of your business

These programs to "fix" an issue that is easily fixed by accountability cost. The cost comes from tax payers. Poor diet cost in the long run from high healthcare cost. That ''free healthcare" that the poor need to use more off when they insist on having a ****ty diet comes from tax payers.
It is absolutely our money. Imagine if many people took accountability for their poor life choices and government did not need to spend so much money to 'fix' their problems yearly. That is billions of dollars that could be spent to increase the overall quality of services for EVERYONE. Better roads, schools, hospitals etc.
We just threw Billions in a hole trying to 'fix' the homeless issue in NYC.

If they are using food stamps or whatever the call them these days, then it IS our business. I don't want my tax dollars paying for food stamps if people can feed themselves with their own money. If so, go right on ahead.

Does McDonald's still have the $1 menu? They have definitely advertised that on TV before. If so then you can still get "food" (I put that in quotes because it is absolute garbage, but that's for another discussion) from there for cheap. I have no idea what stuff they call "food" costs at such places since I have not been in one in almost 20 years. Watching Supersize me was enough to skeeve me out. I avoid fast food chains like the plague.

I think it's called the "$1 $2 $3 Menu" now (I wish I was making that up ).
But what you're getting on that menu certainly won't fill the average person up, at least not for less than what you can spend buying groceries. And then there's the point about you often being able to get multiple meals out of a grocery store run.

You are right again. Look at liberal NYC spending billions decade after decade helping the hoodrats live, eat and multiply to create an endless supply of criminals and homeless that never goes away, never contributes back to the taxpayers, while the city’s subways, roads, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals rots away.

The argument is about buying fresh veggies. Not chicken.
And who pays $10 for a value meal at McDonald's, not people on a budget. They eat on the cheap menu for a few bucks.

But many fresh veggies aren't more expensive, pound by pound, than chicken. I added in chicken to show a more complete meal.
Also, the value menu at McDonald's really isn't that extensive. What options they offer for $1 or $2 won't fill you up. And, even $5 or $6 dollars later, you could easily get two or more meals out of that by going to the grocery store
