    Did you just blame poor people for being unhealthy because they don’t want to eat grass?

      Oh the indignity! I can hear it now. “Eating only things with a nutrition label on the box is a yuman right!”

      I eat weeds. Wild weeds from the yard. For fun. They’re tasty. You should try it. Most of them are harmless and nutritious, shit, dandelions were an imported food crop from Europe. Double check what you’re eating first but they can be really good.

      I didn’t blame them for not eating grass I said that you should know a thing or two about nutrition if you intend to, you know, survive. I don’t know about you, but if I was so poor I was living off of scones alone for 3 months, I’d be looking up wild food and learning about vitamin deficiency, and I’d be entirely willing to eat grass to prevent fucking scurvy.

        You have a yard. Many people do not. People live in parts of the US that are deserts made of shitty buildings and huge roads.

          Those places are called “cities.” And the people in question also have a yard, they’re renting a house in the country.

          And I don’t have a yard actually, I just live somewhere that there’s living creatures outside aka not a city.

            Yeah no

            Not having any greenery is not the defining characteristic of a city, it is a choice

            Look at this picture, it is the capital of Switzerland, the centre of it no less:
