>Would it not be better if they spent more money on wholesome things like oranges and wholemeal bread or if they even, like the writer of the letter to the New Statesman, saved on fuel and ate their carrots raw? Yes, it would, but the point is that no ordinary human being is ever going to do such a thing. The ordinary human being would sooner starve than live on brown bread and raw carrots. And the peculiar evil is this, that the less money you have, the less inclined you feel to spend it on wholesome food. A millionaire may enjoy breakfasting off orange juice and Ryvita biscuits; an unemployed man doesn't…When you are unemployed, which is to say when you are underfed, harassed, bored, and miserable, you don't want to eat dull wholesome food. You want something a little bit 'tasty'. There is always some cheaply pleasant thing to tempt you.

probably, for the cost of a burger king family bundle you could buy several pounds of roast beef and bread which will satisfy you far more

>For less than the cost of a Big Mac, fries and a Coke, you can buy a loaf of fresh bread and some good cheese or roast beef, which you will enjoy much more.
reminder he said this in the 90s/00s where you could get a fucking super size combo (more than an entire day's calories) for less than 5 dollars
meanwhile now for that amount of money you can get maybe half a pound of roast beef

The shitty app coupons doesn't sell the whopper at $1 anymore either. It's now $3 if you use the coupon.
Fuck you burger king. I'm not paying $3 to eat your shit.
