It's silly to think of a microwave as being an American luxury. You can pick them up for $30.00 and I'm sure some people have them in lieu of an oven, similar to how some poor people used to have toaster ovens to prepare food. Also this kind of statement conveniently ignores the rural poor, which I'm sure are more hard pressed than the typical urban poor person.
