Junk food is easy.  It's tasty!  I'm UMC and I love junk food too :) It's awful for you and I know it.  I'm highly educated and I still love it!  I don't eat it every day and it's certainly not my go-to meal.  But I'm just saying - if you are poor and uneducated - you go for what is easiest, tastiest and that's junk food.

Do you know how much damn time it takes to cook a nutritious farm fresh meal?  Sorry but fresh ingredients may be healthy but without a way to make it delicious, it's bland as hell.

I find a lot of healthy stuff like coconut water gross.  I find a lot of healthy snacks gross.  On the other hand, 3/4 of what you eat that isn't considered junk food - like Kraft Mac and Cheese is not as healthy as you people think.  REAL healthy meal take time and effort to prepare.   A salad is less yummy without yummy salad dressing.  Who sits there and just eats raw veggies all day - are you a rabbit or something?

It's more than providing SNAP benefits to the poor.  IT's a cultural thing in the US in terms of eating well prepared foods.  Let me just say for the record that 1/2 the stuff sold in Safeway/Giant are pretty bad for you even if it's not Doritos.  Between the food coloring, preservatives and salt/sugar content, seriously, you all are eating junk food as well. I'd define most of what's served in our K-12 public schools as junk food - we should probably start defining what healthy food is first!  [/quote]

Who is advocating cooking a farm to table fresh meal? This isn’t a Michelin star restaurant. Tax payers are simply tired of subsidizing high fructose corn syrup. Give the poors a sweet potato. So many cry babies in this thread. Fking grow up.[/quote]
