You'll also need transportation to and from a grocery store which could be substantially farther away than McDonald's

There must be some sort of culture clash going on here. In Europe, cycling to the grocery store is convenient, vegetables and meat at the saturday market is cheap and of decent quality. Second-hand stores have cheap (and old, but working) pots and stoves. Only the homeless couldn't afford it.

I saw a documentary on this awesome (yet rarely mentioned) site called 'Naughty America' that covered how girls get good grades in detail

Not sure if you're serious, but it's at bit hard to google for that, even with the chocolate factory's save-search enabled.
