I think a lot of it comes down to when you’re struggling as many people are, what happens a few years down the line doesn’t matter as much as do I have enough to get by today. And then if you manage to make it through today, you have to worry about tomorrow because that’s gonna become today real soon.
Fresh vegetables and fruits can be a fantasy when you’re trying to feed a family on a single income and have to figure out how to do it for five dollars.
I was lucky growing up, we were lower middle class but lived in the country and my dad had a huge vegetable garden and if it was winter we could afford fresh vegetables (I also really love veggies so even canned tastes good to me).
But my girlfriend grew up and her mom struggled with three daughters and her dad was useless. My girlfriend was convinced she didn’t like vegetables except sweet corn because as sad as it is she didn’t get a chance to try any that were cooked correctly and didn’t come out of a can. Guess who loves Brussels sprouts now?
