Was about to say Whaaat? You want me to not be able to afford McDonalds or regular groceries now? Fruit and vegetables both are expensive as fuck when you have a couple kids.

Bananas are about the only thing that's still dirt cheap lol. Eggs have finally gone down. How about subsidize the good food too while enacting carbon taxes on meat.
