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.

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.
