I get $5.17 before taxes. Let's leave aside for a moment that iceberg lettuce has very little nutritional value, although it is the most popular one sold (it is a good source of fiber). Or the fact that the bread would be the highly processed and devoid of much nutritional material. How do you make a half pound of meat stretch for a week without going hungry on 1 meal a day?

Assuming that your prices are reasonable, that would be $5-6 for
several days worth of food, not just $4 for a burger and fries for
one meal. Lazy poor people are fat, not "poor people" in general. They are fat not beause they don't get enough vitamin A, D, E, but because they eat foods with high calories, fat/saturated fat/trans fat. Even day-old bread at a bakery is cheap, lasts longer, and is better for you than McDonald's garbage.
