you will be richer if you don't eat your money in the first place. Well, maybe just a small bite [eats several nickels].

Yep, desperate people can be the most fussy.

There were Jewish people starving to death in the Holodomor who turned down non kosher food offered to them.

Everyone has their own standard not just the rich.
