They manage to eat a diet that resembles what they ate in their home country. They don't start mass consuming Doritos cause they are cheaper than rice and beans (again, they aren't).
Okay. Youve got a bag of apples. Now what? What do you eat for your 21 meals in a week for 29 bucks?
Like, what else is healthy and cheap and easy? It gets real boring real fast and takes a ton of effort to do.
Good tasting, easy and healthy... you can only pick two if you dont have the money.
If you look in really poor countries, same thing happens. Almost the first thing people spend money on after complete subsistance level... sugar. Because that **** is amazing and it tastes good.
