Of course not. Pasta is very satisfying and nutritious depending upon the various ingredients. It is an economical way of feeding many people. Italians always have pasta in their home. Spaghetti is also easy to prepare and quick. Whomever told you that is an idiot. The makers of Spaghetti sauce are definitely making billions off of none other than spaghetti sauce.
There is an old saying that says something like this:

"Better is a dish of vegetables where there is love than a roast where there is animosity".

It is a dish for the masses and not one specifically for those w/o means.

I really don't see how spaghetti is a poor mans meal if that's the case then regular pasta is a poor mans meal. you shouldn't feel that way because your poor yourself. I'm poor but you don't hear me saying spaghetti is a poor man meal cause I'm poor myself Report It

    Yeah it is. Rich people only eat "pasta".

    poor man eat food from trash

    no. italians eat it too.

    umm no.
    who cares spagetti is good ;]]

    No it isn't a poor mans meal.

    That isn't true, they serve some of the great dishes of spaghetti at italian restaurants.

    thats retarded

    It depends if it's a tv dinner or a can. If it's a can of spaghetti then you at least are rich enough to have a bowl. And if it's real spaghetti then you're rollin in dough!

    no its just as expensive to make as anything else-cept maybe steaks or seafood

    dats not true

    News to me. I just made spaghetti tonight for myself.

    Hells no!! The rich eat it too!! Spaghetti is a great dish... Poor or not... I would definately indulge..

    no i eat spagete and im not that poor.

    NO

    no

    well it sure is funny how britney spears, xina, beyonce, fergie, ellen, and all the others eat spaghetti. they aren't POOR!

    if it is than im a poor man cuz i love spaghetti

    not really. Billy Gates eats spaghetti. =]
    p.s. thats what I just had for dinner !

    maybe they meant roman noodles college kids live of the stuff

    not true

    Omg im poor that suckz o wait i am broke but my parents aren't so ill just crawl to them for money

    And if it is, at least you've eaten something for dinner

    That person is an absolute idiot. They charge like 20 bux for spaghetti in an Italian Restaraunt.
    Raman noodles, now that's some broke-a** food!
    I'll still eat it tho.
    Maybe if u put Ketchup on spaghetti instead of tomato sauce, that's a bit trashy. But tell your sushi/caviar-eating moron to shut it, or better yet, give him/her directions to an Italian restaurant (not a pizza joint).

    Here where I live at some people don't even have enough money to have dinner...
    and if they had spaghetti they would consider that a treat.

    The menu for the people I'm talking about:
    Hot tortillas with some salt & maybe, yes maybe, a cup of coffee (if you can call that coffee).

    If i was you, I'd surely be glad to enjoy spaghetti for dinner!

    The poor guy/gal that told you that doesn't have the slightest idea of what POOR really means!

    hell no its not poor mans' food!!!! its good food!!! people are so ignorant!!!! if eatin spaghetti is poor the all italians are poor then? no..... dumb junk i swear....u shold slap the prick who said that junk

    No, I do not think that it is.

    no because poor people cant afford pots and pans, and the noodles and have no running water .i guess im refering to a homeless person. idfk.

    No it's not! My family is middle class and we have spaghetti often because we just like it. It sounds like that person is a rude snob!!

    i guess it depends on what your eating with it . plain spaghetti maybe low cost but also good in taste. a nice chickenk parmasiana with the spaghetti could be a step above. bon appetit1111111111111111
