A good point to argue would be the family that they interviewed. The family has low income, therefore considering them minorities. Being in a similar position myself, I know they could have done more than eat out of the dollar menu every day. In the film, they went to a supermarket similar to the ones I go to back home, and my mother is able to purchase enough food to feed a family of four, not including our pet, with the less money than it is to go to McDonald’s every day. Let’s say they get breakfast, lunch and dinner from the dollar menu, they are using three dollars for each person giving them a total of twelve dollars a day. That’s just one day. Multiply that by the number of days in a week will give you eighty four dollars a week. My mother purchases 100 dollars worth of food for two weeks. Although prices are varied among the area you live in, taking a longer trip and spending five more dollars in gas would be better than wasting over thirty dollars more per week. Having a job does complicate things, but children I know start cooking at age twelve. It’s a matter of health and making time for helping yourself.
