> If you don't have money for fast-food, then go to the grocery store and buy the ingredients yourself
If you're talking about the US, if you're poor the nearest grocery store will be miles away, dirty, and the prices will be a 50% markup over what people pay in nice neighborhoods. Also, McDonald's will sell you an entire meal for $3 and is down the street.
