@freemo @MisuseCase @knittingknots2 I admitted I was wrong about the numbers - but I was also intentionally inflating the numbers in the calculation to make my point. $10 is not the unit cost of cereal and milk for breakfast for a meal. It's near restaurant cost.
I recognize it's not anywhere near as strong a point as I originally thought, but regardless - food is a thing that if you don't have, you die. It *should* cost more than rent on that basis alone.
