I'm not sure how or even whether to respond to this. I appreciate the point that I *think* you're trying to make but there are a lot of things here that trouble me.

a) that it seems you believe filling baby bottles with Kool-Aid or Mountain Dew is a cultural phenomenon or value rather than a commentary on the costs of milk/formula and the abject poverty of the people in a given community;

b) that it seems you believe the Walton's are representative of the geographic area/prevailing culture rather than a Hollywood depiction/exaggeration of life; and

c) that it seems you think a sanitized version of life is the only one that contains bluegrass music or recipes for burgoo and chess pie.
