Another tragedy and humiliation here is that a diet rich in McDonalds is likely a factor in her diabetes.

Returning from Boston, I drove for Pizza Hut. It fed me. Fried pizza wears thin, but when $5 is meaningful, free fried pizza every day makes sense.

Anyone spending four hours a day on a bus in order to make $9.50 an hour is not getting their veggies on the reg. There are some choices at McDonald's that aren't terrible but the poor lady is basically working 80 hours a week in order to get two part-time jobs.
