Aside from all the other issues with this, $3 a meal per person is $270-$280 per person per month on food. Many people can’t afford that anyway.

      Infrastructure is also so often ignored. I know years back when me and my friends were poor a lot of them were in some sort of rinkydink housing on account of being poor and what you get his maybe a mini-kitchennette, usually with no freezer and a minifridge which makes buying cheap and preparing bigger batches to save time so much harder

      Then you have some recipes that work for, then some of the ingredients spike in price and it’s no longer really feasible but you get told that rise in grocery prices is below inflation on average.
