We teach them. That's thengoal. You sought out to learn, sure, but you were able to find the resources to learn from. You had the means and the ability to. Im saying there are people out there who dont even know to look for a better option. They genuinely have no idea about food health, where to start, or where to buy the food. Food Deserts exist. If you have never shopped at a Piggly Wiggly in the middle of a shit state in this twisted country, then I dont think you understand what it really means to be impoverished.

I grew up poor, very poor, but my family had the intelligence, the know how, and the ability to make better choices. Some people really dont have that. Its up to us to teach our communities to be better, not scoff and say things like "those are choices I make."

I think you misunderstand the general state of people suffering from the effects of companies forcing this upon us. For you and I it is as simple as look up a recipe and do it, some people truly do not know. They don't know to look for something else. They dont know if something is unhealthy.

I agree that a rotisserie is closer to fast food, but I was saying most low income people are lacking any food education to make a properly prepared chicken. Most low income prople who are suffering the effects of dollars a day making a difference also lack the education of the why, where, and how they can prepare equivalent priced meals that are better for them. To some this is all they know.

I also got a lesson in college, a privalidge that you and I were able to afford that some prople genuinely never got the opportunity, and those people are the ones truly suffering from the effect of "luxury" rotisseries.

Exactly. Additionally a lot of low income families lack the knowledge of how to properly prepare a chicken, or the equipment to do it well. When the difference is 20¢ a pound for an already seasoned and prepared bird its not really luxury prices. Luxury is like some $50 chicken wrapped in gold bullshit topped with exotic flower pistols.

Right but the discussion isn't if it is healthier, it is what is cheapest. If low income families lack the equipment or knowledge to cook a good tasting whole bird, rotisserie is a good priced option. The fact that the news outlet is calling that splurging is wild.

That's the whole reason I downloaded it was to get away from cash grab companies! Well I'm glad I found out, I'll try Lawnchair now.

Is there something wrong with the Nova Launcher that I should know about?
