Well most Americans don't even know what most of the ingredients in their franken frozen foods are, so I can't expect them to do anything but see basic shit like "lean" and "low fat" or "low sugar" and pick it just because of that. There's another aspect which is calories and how companies measure them (look it up, the calories on a package of food can be up to 20% more than what's listed).
Muh universal healthcare

No it's not. Cooking your own food is way cheaper than buying pre-made. A gigantic salad mix and a big bottle of dressing is a few fucking dollars. Anyone who can spend $30 on soda is not scraping the bottom of the barrel to survive. He could drink water instead, and spend that money on vegetables, which are also super cheap.
Lincoln Miller
There's also branding, exposure, availability, and advertisement brainwashing. These people are so hooked on sugar, MSG etc. That it doesn't matter if healthier stuff is cheaper, it's like a heroin addict starving themselves for their next hit, it's a complete bend in logic,
Christian Nelson
Right. It's like living in a house where half the people are barely-functioning heroin addicts who complain you aren't giving them enough of your income to pay for their hospital bills when they OD.
Josiah Ortiz
Except addicts who OD often realise how fucked up they are assuming they survive, and make an effort to recover. But what about the cancer patients, for example? Or any other patient who needs medical care, you're massively oversimplifying this.

I am not making up excuses for them and there's definitely a measure of personal responsibility involved. I am poor but I still attempt to maintain a decent diet and find time to work out. But it's still definitely a product of the system. Capitalism makes such a lifestyle the easiest option and promotes it.

And how's that actually going?

Where's your business, faggot?

Got all we need to know, thanks for 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧your🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 time. Been fun though, see you next incarnate brother.

On a more serious note, what makes you think universal healthcare under socialism (fuck off with your socdem projection) would not come paired with promotion of public health, by education, posters and PSAs (replacing advertisements), sports and outdoors programmes etc.? The reason promotion of public health is always half-assed is cause capitalist states serve capital and a capitalist state properly promoting public health is something liberals believe in too much.
What even makes you think we'd keep up corn syrup products and junk food? It's literally a product of capitalism.
