Hey, I don't make this shit up.
I report it as I find it and interpret what I see. I know it is crap. Do they know it is crap? Or do they like most people think, "Mmmm.. I'm craving some KFC." Or "I've got a Big Mac Attack!" or even, "Ding dong! Domino's!"
People are poor deciders.
I'm even happy to admit that I don't eat as healthy as I have been taught to in Nutrition classes I took in college. There are many times it is cheaper for me to eat out than it is to cook at home. I can eat in NYC for $8.25/day easily, less if I don't mind eating burgers and pizza. Bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll, ($2) I'll tell you now that the only vegetables that I would have eaten would be the handful of shredded lettuc and 1/2 slice of tomato with my halal lamb and rice. ($4) Dinner, 4 pan fried pork dumplings and hot and sour soup ($2.25).
Access to crap food allows people to make crap decisions, no different than access to drugs allows people to make crap decisions. It doesn't mean that everyone makes the decision, it means that some do.
I walk home sometimes and carry my groceries. I'll tell you that I don't get alot of crap because it's heavy. I can easily go to Whole Foods or Trader Joe's it's in Union Square and it is just a 30 minute single bus ride to my apartment. I have done it maybe a handful of times since I moved to this area.
