“They’re well aware of that fact - and they’ll (rightly) point out that cheap food is invariably unhealthy.”

Last I checked, fruits and veggies were still pretty inexpensive and covered by food stamps and WIC programs.

Can’t blame it all on McD’s...know what I mean?

It must've been a while since you last checked. Fruits and veggies aren't cheap. That's why WIC recipients don't buy them. They can get more for their money with junk food than healthy food.

Personally, I love veggies and always need celery and/or carrot sticks in the frig to munch on especially later at night. Keeps me away from the Oreos--most of the time.
