Beans are about a dollar a pound, cabbage is about 50 cents a pound, frozen spinach is around 1.40 per pound, eggs get as low as a dollar a dozen, chicken breasts are frequently around 2 dollars a pound.<p>The argument that healthy food is not affordable is garbage.  Poor people just tend to make very poor food choices, much as they make poor choices in other areas of their lives that tend to perpetuate their poverty.  This isn&#x27;t hating on the poor (I come from a poor family, I was homeless as a teenager), rather simple recognition of a vicious cycle.  What is needed is more education and compassionate outreach.
