| Healthy food is incredibly expensive. This is a no-brainer. |

I'm pretty sure that's not the case - that's why medical diets trend toward replacing bad starches, sugars, etc. with proteins and fiber, and not just a mere reduction in quanitity or even calories really. |
Agreed. |

| I disagree that healthy food is more expensive. Rationed out properly, I'm sure that one could eat relatively healthy on a modest budget. |

| I would relate it to someone being less educated, not having the proper understanding of nutrition or not understanding the value (damage to your body) of eating healthy food. I would be making the assumption that those that are poor are also less educated. Yes, I said assumption. |

i will flat out say it. youre wrong. here is a great article that depicts the state the US food system is in.
| quote: | | A few years ago, an obesity researcher at the University of Washington named Adam Drewnowski ventured into the supermarket to solve a mystery. He wanted to figure out why it is that the most reliable predictor of obesity in America today is a person’s wealth. For most of history, after all, the poor have typically suffered from a shortage of calories, not a surfeit. So how is it that today the people with the least amount of money to spend on food are the ones most likely to be overweight? |

i actually posted a thread on this around the same time this article was written. |

Funny. I work at a grocery store and you're quite off with that one. Every person I've seen with food stamps has bought actual food, healthy food and nine times out of ten they are always making the right choice. |
