It's a complex topic obviously so it's hard to say how much obesity is to blame specifically. I'm not going to spend the time compiling the numbers here, but it's worth researching for sure.

Unhealthiness in America is less voluntary than you think. This country only offers healthy food to people that can afford it.

I don't agree at all, I have saved a lot of money and gotten a lot healthier when I started snacking on carrots (roughly $1) instead of a bag of chips (roughly $4), or when I started making big pots of vegetable stew on a Sunday and spreading that out over the week ($20 for the stew which yields ~10 meals) instead of eating fast food for lunch (roughly $8 per meal). There are so many ways to eat dirt cheap and healthy, people just don't want to do the research or put in the effort. Because making that big pot of stew and having it last all week is harder than hitting up the drive thru. I've gone through a lot of lifestyle changes in the past year or two, and I used to think the same way you do but in practice I've found it to be a lot smoother of a transition than I thought it would be

Broccoli, cauliflower, butternut squash, and some BBQ chicken. Healthy as ****. Absolutely delicious. Feeds you for a week. Costs barely more than $10 for all supplies.

I used to drink at least 1 Mountain Dew a day, I loved these things the best:

Now all I drink is water/tea/coffee and of course alcohol. I don't even remember the last soda I had. I don't crave it ever. Once you're like a month removed from cutting it out completely, you have trouble remembering why you were ever drinking them in the first place. It saves me money and a ton of sugar/calories.

Obviously you don't need me telling you all of this, I'm just saying from experience that I don't miss it
