Aside from all the other issues with this, $3 a meal per person is $270-$280 per person per month on food. Many people can’t afford that anyway.

If that’s an improvement… things are pretty rough
What American pols (republican and democrat) never address is that due to structural problems it’s insanely difficult if not impossible for poor Americans to eat healthy food. There are food deserts. Fresh fruit and vegetables are often hard/impossible to come by. Cheap food is pumped full of high-fructose corn syrup. Etc. These issues need to be addressed by state and federal governments.
Now that I’m thinking about it - I wonder how often AOC or Bernie talk about this problem. I have no idea. My wild guess is that they give it lip service once in a while.
AOC types will talk about food deserts but idk what concrete measures there have been to address them besides zohran’s municipal grocery stores idea. And obviously food deserts are only one small slice of the problem
For real! As a Euro I spend less than that in a month even when I buy fancy stuff like fresh fish and coconuts
