[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a dietitian and yes, I think it's hard to eat healthy. The hard part is the shopping and preparing of food. If I had a chef or healthy meal delivery, it would be much easier.

Also, it's easy to eat healthy for myself, but when trying to make food for a whole family that they want to eat, it is a big chore. [/quote]

For me the challenge is stress. If I'm on vacation or just in a really good place mentally, I don't find it hard. In fact I crave healthy food. I'm on vacation right now and reading this thread made me hungry for vegetables because I haven't had any today. Processed food sounds gross to me at the moment.

But when I'm stressed at work and not sleeping well, my body craves both the instant gratification of sugary processed foods AND the total lack of effort involved in getting them.

This is why my theory about why Americans are so unhealthy us that our unchecked capitalism causes stress and that makes us eat poorly. I think if we had 30 hour work weeks and a social safety net people would naturally eat better, even poor people.[/quote]
