I don't think it has much to do with available diet. For $30 in MS you can easily prepare a healthy meal for a family of 4 or you can get 4 Big Mac combos. More about choice than availability.


Have you ever been to a poor neighborhood? Yes, choice factors, but the availability of fresh, healthy ingredients varies wildly between poor and wealthy areas, as does the feasibility of keeping fresh ingredients -- which tend to go bad and require new shopping trips with much greater frequency than non-fresh -- stocked. People do have options in life, but it's not exactly correct to say that their circumstances don't figure hugely in said options, especially when you add in the fact that impoverished people usually have only the example of impoverished previous generations to teach them as they grow up.

I see what your getting at but your wrong.. As a nutrition major, I can tell you, it's all about calories in vs calories out.. Just cause your on a budget doesn't mean you have to take in excess calories every day.. no one is forcing food down anyone's mouth.. doesn't matter if your poor or not or where you live.. Food is fuel, and when it is treated as more than that, fat is gained...

canned and frozen ingredients are almost identical nutritionally when compared to fresh

If we are getting fatter, the poor people before us were thinner.

I eat like shite some days, and it has nothing to do with availability of healthy choices.

Herein lies the truth. You could walk into the grocery store in Rolling Fork,MS. and pay for everybody's groceries, even help them with the list so as to fill their baskets with healthier choices.

When they got home they would fry everything in lard.
