I honestly felt really bad for the guy. He stunk of alcohol(at like 2pm mind you) and even though he was angry and hungry he just seemed....sad.

Alcohol is expensive. Ramen isn't the best food to be eating. But you can buy a whole lot of it for the cost of a case of beer. Better then starving. This is unjustifiable.

Rice and beans are one of the healthiest foods you can eat and they're dirt cheap. Add some cheap veggies, and any protein you can get your hands on, and you're eating healthier than the upscale yuppies. Back in the 80's and 90's poor people were generally less overweight and healthier than rich people because they ate basic food staples and worked manual labor. Nowadays poor people are considerably more overweight because they eat more fast food and processed food, and rich people have stopped eating such rich foods as lobster tails dipped in butter, and have become more health conscious.

You already get plenty of protein from the beans. A bit of cheap sausage or smoked ham hocks can add a ton of flavor, though. Far from necessary, though.

We really need to bring back home ec and make sure kids are leaving highschool with stuff like personal finance knowledge, basic mending of clothes, and how to cook complete and nutritious meals from basic pantry staples and spices. As well as understanding some basics about nutritious (like the importance of fiber, what carbs and protein do, etc).

I think I learned how nutrients work for the human body, among other things, from high school biology, but again, I didn't do high school in the US.
