Healthy eating low incomes

[Jeff]

When we talk about making low income people pay some income tax we're told how it hits them harder than everyone else because they make so much less. Yet, when it comes to a 17% increase in the food they purchase somehow the marginal utility of money isn't so important? I'm not assigning that to Jeff, I'm just making a general observation.

I'd hazard a guess that McDonalds regular customers are low income people, and the increase would obviously hurt them more than others.

Time to open a separate thread on why healthy food is so much for expensive and unavailable to the low income population. I have several comments on the subject
