My point exactly. (I was just saying I don't know what the expenses of healthy vs non-healthy foods are outside the US, therefore I can only speak for the US.)
I really think that this is a big part of why there are so many overweight people in the States. It therefore surprises me, given how much of a "duh, well that's obvious" statement that is, that it's so often overlooked in discussions of weight. Why would you pay $20 for a single meal that doesn't fill you when you can get 4x that for the same price? Instead people are focusing on societal pressures and activity levels and genetics and whatnot.
I'm not saying that those aren't contributors too (they certainly can be), but I am saying that a critical piece of the puzzle gets overlooked, and for no good reason. Healthy food is freaking expensive.
well im dragging myself off to bed

And generally tastes like cardboard. :/ There ARE good tasting healthy meals but that's even more expensive than the cardboard stuff. So the vast majority of americans who can't afford much go with cheap, horrible for you food so they can afford other things to enjoy life with. Like the net. And computers.
