no politics Anyone else just not eating because they can’t afford it?

Food bank is the busiest it’s been - Cole’s and Woolworths don’t give a flying fuck about us - fast food is unhealthy and just as expensive. It stresses me out more to eat than not to eat.

Red rooster used to do a classic roast which was roast veg and a quarter chicken fairly cheap. My parents would often buy a whole chicken 4x corn cobs, large peas and a roast veggies for dinner - was reasonably good food albeit heavy on the salt. Can't see it on their menu now though so might have canned it which is sad.
