I suspect that’s often a question of money. For those on low incomes, one common method of still being able to afford fresh food is buying in bulk from markets etc.

OK, have you been to Carbondale or East Chicago?! I have, and they’re pretty much Charlestown from Slap Shot in terms of long-range economic prospects, not to mention crime-ridden hellholes where you’ll have massive problems with theft and robbery losses.

If I order a pizza and I’m not very hungry, I ask them to cut it into 4 slices so I don’t have to eat 8.
