    Since most of them can't cook and are afraid to try new things, they just eat fast food for most of their meals because it's embarrassing for them to prepare their own meals.

    Pride has much do with it, although it's undeserved.

      At what point is that just intentional self harm if it makes up most of your meals?

      I often see posts online that sound like people look down on rice as if eating it is beneath them. Like, ok spend 20 times as much on food I guess?

        Way below what you can get from welfare in the US.

        It's not all-or-nothing. Most people don't even attempt to eat cheaply because they believe it's beneath them.
