And I say it doesn't cost more money to eat less food.

It costs more money to get HEALTHY food. I remember back in my post-divorce poor days all I could afford was pasta, mac n cheese, hotdogs, canned fruits and veggies, etc. Fresh produce, lean cuts of meat, etc. were out of my range financially.

Sure, you can eat less and be hungry, but most people w/ no money are going to eat "filler" so they feel full on less $$$.

My ex's mother was from a large poor family and she told stories of eating potato soup with dumplings - something where a bowl would fill a kid up, but not exactly healthful.
