Thanks Biden?
It is good to see fast food panicking and reducing the cost of their garbage meals. Poor people need a better way to get fat, can't just be everyone who is earning above the median income scarfing down Micky D's! Diabetes for all. I did not see any healthy choices listed on any of those $5 menus. Are they targeting the poor to make them less healthy via poor eating choices?

Now if healthy food and regular groceries were to drop to pre-Biden levels, that would be something to celebrate. Some light hearted teasing, but food options for lower income families is a big issue that has a major impact on their overall health, as we see with obesity leading to so many other issues, like chronic pain, diabetes, mobility issues, feelings of self respect/worth, and the ability to fit into a peer group and take part in physical activities.
Some SNAP reform would be nice too, but that is a topic for another thread...
I’ll call Biden up and see if I can get him to drop the price on organic produce next. I know he was busy celebrating after he dropped the price on the McDonalds value meal so it might be awhile. I heard he was considering lowering the price of bacon and gas since it is an election year too.
