I blame the prices for America's obesity.

You go to a McDonald's and the salad is like five bucks. For much less you can get a cheeseburger with fries. Not only that, Coca Cola is cheaper than bottled water!

Couple it with genetics favoring stocky people and you see most things are definitely not helping it.

In MCDONALDS.

In a regular Supermarkets hamburgers are WAY more expensive then salads... and Soda is 2-3 times as expensive as Water.

Most people, specially the young ones already working, don't have enough time for supermarkets.

It's all about McDonald's or BK for lunch and a Pizza or Cup Noodles for dinner. At least in the southern states like Florida or Lousiana which I know the best. 

Oh that's just being lazy.  The money you save on fast food you pay for later with liposuction, gastric bypass surgery, diabetes, heart disease, and dying 30 years younger than people who know what they're eating.

Think of it this way: every single process that goes on in your body uses your food as energy.  You put shit fuel in, you get shit performance out.  You get fat, lazy, and sick because you don't even know what you're eating, and when confronted with evidence that what you're eating is poison, you convince yourself that "it's no big deal."  But one day... it will be.  And it'll be too late.

I work a crappy job, go to school on the side, do homework, and write at VGChartz, but I still make time to shop at a few different healthy supermarkets and the local farmer's market.  I can make a salad that's cheaper and healthier than anything at McDonald's, and doesn't have high fructose corn syrup or GMOs.

And a cup of noodles for dinner?  That's basically a cup of fat and sodium without any real nutritional value.  If you ate 20 of those in a row you'd probably STARVE TO DEATH.
