My family has terrible eating habits. None of them will eat a vegetable unless it's a green bean or corn, and came right out of a can (and even THAT is like 10% of the food they eat). 90% of their diet is chicken, canned food, tator tots, potato wedges, and potato chips. Sometimes we get something like pork chops and even that is cooked it bacon grease.
I'm having problems because my body is so acidic from eating nothing but meat and processed junk food. I haven't eaten a vegetable that didn't come out of a can in... I can't remember the last time I ate a vegetable. <_< I asked my grandmother to buy some highly alkaline vegetables so I could eat those instead to try and stop the issues I've been having. I was informed that they'll only buy a little food because the budget is tight and that's not something they can afford.
And yet almost every other week my grandmother buys bags and bags of candy, potato chips, and literally everything my brother asks for even though he's never home 7 times out of 10. And what does my dear brother ask for? Hard to find chip brands and other crap. Hell, we have literally 7 boxes of cereal of varying types and he wants effing Reese's cereal now! And I can guarentee you my grandmother will buy it for him. She always buys him whatever he wants without complaining. Another bag of chips to add to the collection of half eaten/unopened chips on the shelf in the dining room? SURE, WHY NOT!
My brother uses 2 different types of shampoo and conditioner on top of a lot of other 'beauty' products. He asks for foods he doesn't always eat and lets go bad. But who cares! Buy him whatever he wants! Brytni wants vegetables so she doesn't wake up with aches because of how unhealthy her diet is? TOO DANG BAD WE'RE ON A BUDGET! It doesn't help that my grandmother gives me this look when I ask for healthier foods to try and help myself feel better. Like she thinks I'm lying to her and making everything up. Though she's been giving me that look every week now for having the gall to ask about food that isn't in HER diet "Read: Canned chicken and dumplings, stouffers fried chicken TV dinners, and spam." God forbid I want to actually not get sick and take in the vitamins I kind of sorta need to LIVE.
I wish I could move to Virginia to be with my boyfriend's family already. They actually eat something besides toaster strudels, chicken, and pork chops.

I feel like crying right now. My family just doesn't give a crap about my health at all. It's not like I'm doing this for kicks and giggles. I'm doing it so I don't get health problems and have to go to the doctor or hospital because
I haven't had health insurance since I was 17 years old. But oh, don't mind me. But when I do have to go to the doctor for something they yell at me and scold me like it's my fault. -- It's not like I haven't tried to get a job multiple times and never got called after I sent in applications.
I've even suggested them to grow some vegetables in the yard. But the only thing my grandmother will buy is tomato plants. "I don't eat vegetables so that would be a waste of money!" as if buying anything for my brother wasn't a waste. I need to get the hell out of here but I have no way to afford moving all the way to Virginia...
