haha....I think what I meant is that if you limit things to 5 ingredients or less, it will have a huge impact on what they purchase. The list of crappy foods with less than 5 ingredients is short - at least things that people buy for 'meals'. Most of what poor people buy is pre-packaged meals. Microwave, etc. The HS students we work with - 95% of whom come from poor families -...none of them no how to cook anything that isn't in the microwave. Few of them even know how to do mac n cheese.

They don't buy fresh ingredients because they have no idea what to do with them.
