They are certainly not 'forced' to eat wrong foods. As discussed there are plenty of cheap and healthy food options. The big issue is they don't taste as good as junk food.

Just don't know how to make better plans and choices, or can't be bothered.

22 years ago, hmm yeah that's relevant.

 

It is about as relevant as your constant, one-lined appeal to your own apparent authority on many, many things. Seriously, "I've seen it with my own eyes" type of arguments are about as interesting as Donald Trump's speeches if you are trying to make large, extrapolating conclusions based solely or largely your own experiences. And by working in NGOs focused on the poor, you by self-selection saw more of certain groups of people etc. If you are making a relatively focused claim like "People in X area in my experience can't even afford a freezer" then there's a much greater degree of validity, as opposed to making some large implicit claim that many people (god knows how many you mean) can't afford freezers because of how you've supposedly spent 25 years dealing with "this". Again, whatever that means. 

But feel free to again go on some tangent about how someone is being rude to you or whatever merely because you can't sensibly rebut the argument.

kryptonjohn: Our parents had it much harder but society demanded they cope instead of making excuses.

That’s rich from someone that at nearly every opportunity tells us in late night rants how superior you are because you are apparently a lawyer. Here’s an idea you ignore my posts a I will ignore yours ok?

So the predictable post came. One - I made no such claims of the sort that you made; two - it's time that you look in the mirror. You were ridiculing the other poster's post for the perceived poor quality of the evidence, yet it is your frequent practice to output a large number of posts that are really, shall I be charitable for once, decidedly lacking in terms of substantiation and evidence. 

And here was me thinking it was going to descend into LCHF vs. caloric restriction wars...

Caloric restriction for me. I just don't feel full if I don't eat carbs.

That exchange did not even mention the topic, let alone address it. That's unfortunate.
