I think you want to replace fresh vegetables and fruits with processed ready meals.

Being available is not equal to a person being able to afford it.

Maybe you were writing about middle class and not the poor?

So, fruits and vegetables cost more than processed ready meals? Yesterday I bought a banana for $.22.

The government provides food to the poor with SNAP.

The only starving people in America are drug addicts or very ill people. Obesity is the usual problem for poor people.

You don't need to be a middle class to be able to afford electric lights, mobile phones, apples, oranges and grapes all year round.

On the other hand kings had free-range organic grown meat prepared by personal cook anytime they wanted which is a true luxury even today.
