    I’m disabled and homeless and eat veggies, fruit, pasta, bread, cheese and protein on a daily basis at about $7 a day. people eat fast food because they are lazy, not poor.

      I wanna say first that is a tragedy you are homeless and I wish the best for you in finding permanent lodging but your statement raises some questions. How are you preparing these foods? If you are as homeless as you purport, are you using a campfire, or a communal kitchen, or are your meals prepared for you? How are you procuring your groceries?

        Or unable to get a stable full time job, maybe none exists, or not enough for everyone.

          I don’t think they mean it literally. I think they’re pointing out the irony of calling people lazy when your own situation is often reduced in the same way.

      Yes, with 1 other caveat.

      People will also eat at restaurants because they’re ashamed and embarrassed of their own cooking ability and don’t want to look bad in front of their peers.
