Well, it's true if you follow Deborah's advice. Yoshie brought up the "what can socialists write about" issue. Here's one. How to eat a healthy diet on $150/month. 50 page pamphlet with recipies, sample diets with calorie counts...

My guess is that it is possible to eat healthily on that amount of money -- if one eats a more spartan diet. Brown rice, potatoes, fruit, pasta, veggies, eggs, otameal, the cheaper meats, etc. It's important to stay away from prepared foods (laden with bad chemicals) and packaged foods (additional expense).....with the exception of Ramen.
