   I have 3 points to make about watching that clip.
   1) Why did they have to use the typical stereotyped struggling middle class, overweight hispanic family?
   2) “Now that I know that the food is really unhealthy for us…” Wait, excuse me how can you NOT know that something fried, in large proportion, and drowned in condiments is not healthy?
   3) You CAN buy vegetables. I’m a student and rely mostly on my financial aid refunds. I’ve noticed that fresh is always the most expensive so frozen or canned is the best way to go (get store brands and you get an even bigger bargain). Frozen foods are actually fresher than whats on your produce aisle.

   This movie really makes me sad. It’s so true that you can buy a cheeseburger cheaper than simple vegetables at the grocery store.

   It would be best if we stopped considering “fast food” as food, and more like a bad drug or poison, since it does more harm than good.
