A social media backlash to media reports that said fast-food chain Wendy’s had plans to increase menu prices during its busiest hours shows a limit to where, when and for what U.S. consumers will trade more cash for convenience.
Wendy’s is garbage in terms of health and nutrition but there are a lot of people who probably have much easier access to a Wendy’s than a grocery store. That’s the reality of life in America for a lot of low income people and it’s fairly well divided along race lines as well. We can sit here from our white suburban couches and judge because there are 4 grocery stores within a 10 minute drive but that simply isn’t how it works in some areas.
I used to think this was the case, but I am not sure anymore, I am trying to piece it together. Yeah it sucks for the 1 in 10 of us that doesn’t live near a grocery store, but we could probably save everyone by educating them on how to eat cheap and healthy - it’s something you would only figure out if you seek the information yourself, and there is so much noise, doubt, deception, and misunderstandings in nutrition that the corporations must be doing it on purpose.

Sure, but that’s a different problem.
