That being said, there&amp;#x27;s utterly no way that has to be the case.  Raw produce (not meats) from a farmer&amp;#x27;s market or most major supermarkets are very cheap.  I can spend $30-$40 and have enough for 3-4 people for a full &lt;i&gt;week&lt;/i&gt;.  Also, sausage is usually very cheap.  I buy the store brand (which happens to be delicious) and it&amp;#x27;s usually &amp;lt;$3 per lb.  The 73% beef from Walmart is cheap as hell and usually hovers around $3-$3.25 per lb most of the time.  One of those burgers (quarter-pounder, so 4 oz) has 340 calories and is a dream for anyone doing keto.  So that $3 package contains about 1350 to 1400 calories!  The cereal I make myself has only 4 ingredients and is loaded with healthy carbs (steel cut oats, flax seed, walnuts, and raisins).  $12 to $15 dollars buys a bag of each of those ingredients which all have around 15 or so servings - that&amp;#x27;s over two weeks...or less than a dollar a day (per person).  And that is a very high calorie breakfast, BTW.  Water costs essentially nothing per gallon.  Eggs are cheap and super healthy.  There&amp;#x27;s plenty of cheap, tasty cheeses you can buy in bulk, too.  You can get whole seasoned, rotisserie, &lt;i&gt;cooked&lt;/i&gt; and ready-to-eat chickens for $5!  That&amp;#x27;s multiple meals for a single person or a meal for an entire family.  And I don&amp;#x27;t live in a rural part of the US where prices are cheaper - I live in an expensive area of the northeast.&lt;p&gt;You can &lt;i&gt;easily&lt;/i&gt; feed a family of 4 on $125 a week using the items I outlined above (along with other cheap options).</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>The poor can’t afford to follow public health advice</title><url>https://www.hsj.co.uk/comment/the-bedpan-the-poor-cant-afford-to-follow-public-health-advice/7025532.article</url></story>
