    Healthy food simply costs more than fatty processed foods. I have worked with clients who are getting food stamps. A family of 5 gets $200 a month in food stamps. Sounds like a lot, but it doesn’t go that far. Fresh fruits, veggies, and meats are more expensive than frozen dinners and such. Food banks sometimes have healthy items, but not usually. Normally, they give out lots of starches- breads, pasta, cookies. This is why the poor sometimes are overweight. Also, I think survival is more important to them than a Hollywood figure.
