Healthy Was Never Meant for People Like Me

I used to think eating healthy was just about willpower. But then I’d stand in the grocery aisle, staring at $8 strawberries and $20 chicken, wondering who this advice was actually for. They say cut out processed food, but when everything is processed—milk, bread, even the air I breathe—what’s left? I watch my SNAP balance shrink, the list of what I can afford getting shorter. I’m told to choose health, but the only choices left are between hunger and guilt. Sometimes I wonder if they want us to disappear. If being healthy is just another thing reserved for people who never had to count change at checkout. #FoodGuilt #HealthGap #InvisibleStruggle #Health #Diet
