The key takeaway from this discussion is that in light of the socio-economic factors that are escalating the obesity epidemic, we have a moral imperative to call newborn babies fat fucks.

You’re disputing the points about food cost? Do you have a counter argument? I’m just using factual numbers of food costs at the grocery store where it’s possible, with just a little extra effort in terms of preparation and washing dishes, to have nutritious meals daily at an average cost that is significantly less than what people often consider to be the benchmark for cheap food i.e. McDonald’s or Taco Bell or whatever. If I should be thinking about this some other way please actually say so instead of being passive aggressive with these kinds of useless posts

Think about it like this. In your typical grocery store, what is the ratio of healthy to unhealthy foods? Which receives more marketing: healthy or unhealthy foods? You could never enter a grocery store and live off of Taco Bell and gas station foods (which you will be more likely to find in a low income area than a grocery store). What's the ratio of healthy to unhealthy foods in those places? If you were never introduced to meal planning growing up, which option sounds more affordable: $5 dinner today ready to go or $10 of more food than you need for tonight that goes bad quickly and involves extra work?

In terms of marketing I certainly agree. You see candy bars and soda in marketing way more than anything else. The fact that there are areas where grocery stores with healthy options are unavailable or harder to find is certainly a good point. The lack of knowledge and education on how to plan out a diet is definitely a problem, another good point there. Quote:

2. I never suggested that healthy food is hidden. 3. Please answer the question Quote:
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.

I would certainly argue, however, that there are many out there that have the means and knowledge to make better, healthier decisions for themselves and any reasoning for why they don’t is simply making weak excuses for being lazy and selfish.

If you stopped hunting for justification for this argument, you'd probably understand my points better.
