ACTUALLY rich people loved to eat white bread. white bread was expensive

And for the longest time, mac and cheese was a luxury dish, and lobster was considered prisoner food.

It's kind of amusing to see the eating trends of the wealthy.

At one point peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were rich food too, because they were able to afford the berries to make jam, or had land to grow them.

Nowadays it is some of the cheapest lunch you can make.

I think meat is going that route now, and in 15-20 years the only people who will be able to afford real meat will be the wealthy.
