>I feel like you're unclear on what poverty, homelessness, and hunger are.

And I feel like you do not understand that the average American is not homeless.

If you are homeless you are not going to be a person who is spending >$40/mo for food and needing a cook book to make cheap food interesting to eat. You will just buy cheap food until you bootstrap yourself back to a house and a stable job.




Scroll up to where this comments thread says "You realize that there are people who are homeless", then talked about a box under a bridge, then not having a mailbox. Who did you think we were discussing?


>Who did you think we were discussing?

People who spend >$40 per month on food who live 40 miles away from the nearest library.
