"This is too bad. It is bad that you are exposing this. When there is poverty all around," wrote a user. "This is really disgusting. Millions of people dying for a penny and all the massive amounts of money go to the military, illegal stuff and so on. I swear this world is filthy," wrote another.
One user posted, "It saddens me to see this dinner bill and to think it could save an entire city from starvation for days. No one should ever have to pay 405 for still water." "
"Is this normal? To demand such prices today?? Where everything has become expensive... too expensive!? Boycott this madness!!! There are children in this world who don't eat anything! !" One unhappy user responded.
On the other hand, Salt Bae had its share of support. A user talked about Beyonce and Kim Kardashian giving expensive gifts to their children, which no one talked about. The cook sells his food at such prices because whoever has the "money" can pay for it. The user also asked those who were talking about poverty, what they are doing to help the underprivileged.
