100 usd is not a lot of money, easily obtainable and enough to feed you easily for a month. You could probably stretch it to two months or more but you would be at a deficit most likely. Soda is a luxury item in my estimation as obese people cannot be considered poor as they would fail to remain fat. I guess that is debatable since poverty of life quality could be a view when reading poverty. Well fuck this was a poorly thought out question on my part.
I guess what I am pointing out is that in America a majority of SNAP recipeints (who are supposed to be poor enough that they need assistance to buy food) are obese and buy luxury items like soda and chips. I have never seen a starving poor person in America, well excluding drug addicts.
