This ladys eating better than I do

How?

With an average net income ranging from 1100 USD to 2400 USD, any average worker should eat better than this

This lady monthly rations amount to approximately 160 USD, while the average minimum wage workers spends from 260 to 350 USD worth on groceries

Which I really doubt is a problem, given that the median of the monthly income in usa is about 5k usd
