With RFK's new dietary guidelines, you're not supposed to eat carbs, which would normally be the main source of low-budget calories. 6 ounces of pork is only around 350 calories, so RFK's going to want you to get 3 times that, which is going to blow your $3 budget right there.

    I get it, they are morons, but it's not really the food costs that are the issue, non processed food is still relatively cheap. This all a symptom of childcare and housing eating a bigger proportion of the budget. 

    You can still feed a family pretty cheap. You are probably more worse off of you're a dollar tree person but it's still a symptom of the big 2.
