We all love to make jokes about how chip bags are 75% air, at this point, it's basically a meme on its own and we've come to accept it. Plus, apparently, the air keeps the chips fresher or something. This is all to say that we have become accustomed to this 'food scam,' it doesn't hurt so much whenever we pop open a bag of lays. However, if it's something different, something that we actually had high expectations for, the only way to explain how this makes us feel is 'heartbroken.' And no, that is not being dramatic.

Food insecurity is a real issue in the US. Depending on your age, budget, and location, the kinds of food you have access to can be extremely different. In most major cities you can find a wide variety of cheap meals, and bargain prices even on healthy foods. But if you live in a more rural area, unless you are lucky enough to have a garden or farm nearby, the closest place to grab food might be a Mcdonald's or a little gas station.
Twitter user @dremilyportermd struck a conversation online about the major food price differences between her local grocery store and her local Mcdonald's. Some people support her assertions, but other people have strong counter-arguments.
Anyone who buys lunch every day at work will know how fast the bills add up. A coffee here, a burger there, and a salad somewhere else, these 'small' costs can suddenly become significant accumulated amounts. One couple decided that in an attempt to save up for a house, part of their cost-cutting strategy would be for the husband to bring in his wife's homemade sandwiches instead of buying fast food. But when she found out through his coworker that he had been selling her sandwiches to them and using the money to buy fast food instead, she was understandably devastated and felt like she was being taken advantage of.
