Seems to me the logic behind people not having access to a healthy diet is the same as them not being able to get ID to vote.

That is ignorance and prejudice against the poor so that you believe they are incapable of doing basic tasks or are so stupid they are near same level as animals when it comes to problem solving.

The healthy food is always more expensive than the garbage food. This is by design.

I went to the supermarket last week and they were giving bags of carrots and parsnips away. There was no rush to get this free food either.

Meanwhile processed food costs a lot more than making from scratch. That's why processed food is pushed so much in advertising. Every process adds profit.

You don't have to eat gourmet food or fancy salads to eat healthily. Just cheap plain food will do.

Please define healthy food and please define garbage food.

Garbage fast food has risen in price due to hazard pay, minimum wage increases, benefits requirements, to the point that it is much cheaper to eat healthy food.

What I define as healthy food actually exists for 1-2 dollars a meal on average. This food lowers insulin resistance and every health issue associated with it, including obesity.

The disparity in health is more a product of misinformation than anything else. They want us eating inflammatory foods made with inflammatory oils. They want us eating foods that fuck our hormone balance up enough to make us chronically hungry.

Red meat is by far the healthiest thing a person can eat according to my research. Despite its relatively expensive price per pound, it does not destabilize our hormone balance to the extent that are body is sensitive to satiety when eating such foods.

Lastly, I would also argue that social and cultural entrench backwards thinking relating to food to the point where people will go out of their way to control others solely based on food choices, so this issue extends to social psychology.

Healthy food implies that it isn't ridden wirh Psaticides and Glyphosate which nearly all non-organic foods are.

Presupposing that I suffer from high time preference is where the government's genocide is actually comoing from.

It's free if you can do it yourself.

They probably can't even plant a tomato plant.

I cannot blame them though, industralism has caused us to work 85hrs+ a week wirh low wage rather than 20 hrs a week.
