<Okay. Food prices are skyrocketing. You'll just have to do what the rest of us poor folk do.........cut back. Need to lose some weight..........you can kill two birds with one stone.< But, you say that.... as Wages of the poor haven't kept up with inflation, and the poor can't afford to feed their families due to being moved to "part-time" positions, etc.. And your answer is that they should just "cut back" and lose some weight??? That is very, very cruel... IMO. Are you sure you are not Republican? Not cruel but rather a fact of life in the wealthiest nation in the world. Five years ago, when there was no inflation thanks to the Great Recession caused in part by the Bush administration, they interviewed families who were trying to make ends meet on minimum wage jobs. And one set of parents reported that they ate every other day so their kids could eat every day. Such is life when you are poor in this country.
