"People don't realize that even poor people get tired of the same old taste. I hate hot dogs, but I was brought up on them. So you think, 'When I get older, I'll have steak.' So now I'm older. And I do."
for me it was beans and rice. I got so tired of them as a kid, swore I'd never eat them once I moved out. Unlike Larraine, I get too stressed about money to eat what I want, so I still have beans and rice lol

there's a lot that's really frustrating, but also a lot that's really true, in this book. The author has some very astute observations.
