So, at the local supermarket, you can buy 2L bottles of pop for $1 Canadian.
This is part of the problem of being poor: empty, even bad calories are WAY cheaper than healthy stuff. It isn't even close.

Yeah, I was nabbing some food in Norway and my grandpa wanted to know why I was buying it expensive there, rather than in Poland.
Had to explain that the shitty food that most people get is a fraction of the price, but the food you'd actually want to eat costs almost the same.
So much of the vile propaganda against poor people and their health problems relies on people lacking the basic insight that not everyone can afford to quintuple their food expenses.
