[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Food (the unhealthy fast kind with lots of calories but low nutrition) is relatively cheap in the US. Its also serving as entertainment much of the time. Food is pricier at stores in other countries but can be found cheaper at farmers markets which are not just on weekends. More expensive food and lack of easier fast food and convenience foods leads to just less eating for many. Many countries are now experiencing surges in obesity due to new huge quantities of affordable and available junk food. 
To add to that nutrition science which shows and humans prefer sweet and salty and fatty foods. Our bodies evolved to seeking max calories to survive and now we cant burn them all by our lifestyles. Never previously in history had there been so much food available. Before modern conveniences and industrial food manufacturing and freezer trucks, so much of the work and daily routine was about procuring food. Now we habe free time and we are bored and watch tv and read our phones but eat the same number of calories as a farmer. [/quote]

Nanny again- I don’t think fast food is cheap. For a McDonald’s meal it’s $10-12 where I live. I try to only spend $25-27 a week on groceries, so that would be a big chunk of my weekly budget. [/quote]
