Only if you ignore every other factor that influences the issue.

In a typical grocery store the very first major section that is right in front of your face when you walk in is the produce section. They throw a giant beautiful collage of colorful health foods at you the very second you walk in the door. So I don’t think the healthy options are necessarily being hidden from people.

1. It's usually flowers which are not very healthy the last time I checked. They do that so to prime people to think that their food is fresh. It's why the meat is usually in the back, too, since it rots fastest.
2. I never suggested that healthy food is hidden.
3. Please answer the question

The only context where I’ve brought up any personal experiences is where I talked about how I’ve managed to have a healthy diet for very cheap, which is only using objective numbers from what’s available at the stores where I live. I’m hardly deriving any points from my own life, I’m giving factual numbers. Unless the geographical difference is more severe than I think, but that’s a possibility that I’ve already acknowledged in another post

Cool beans! Talking about how much you pay for food while ignoring the other aspects that influence obesity, which you have never experienced, is definitely defining an issue by your own personal experiences.
Obesity rates don't rise to epidemic levels for no reason, and from where I'm sitting, a number of cultural and social factors have a marked influence on what we're seeing today.
