7. I am very glad that you have the opportunity to feed your family ...
... that you are able to feed your family well on a limited budget.

Hopefully, YOU are grateful that you have nutritious foods available to you at affordable prices, that you have the time and the means to prepare that food, that you have the ability to store that food and that you have been provided the education/ life experience to understand many of the intricacies of good nutrition.

Quite often "the poor" are lacking one or more of the aforementioned.

Certainly there are people that are poor that simply make poor choices ... just as there are people that are affluent that make poor choices. My life experience has taught me that a truer version of story is that nutritious food is not readily available (at prices the "rest" of us pay) in areas with large concentrations of poor people.

Be grateful for what you are able to do ...and less judgmental about what others may not be able to do.
