I will say that while it’s hard for the poorest Americans to access healthy foods (who live in food deserts), most middle class Americans are more than capable of finding healthy foods, albeit ones that are maybe canned. But the whole idea that being fat is easy to avoid is what the issue is, it’s just not representative of what we know about how complicated the human brain / body are
Some people’s brains are wired for overeating just like some people’s brains are wired for gambling addictions or drinking problems. Salty and unhealthy foods being ever present doesn’t help. Telling someone to just stop being fat is as absurd as telling someone to just stop feeling hungry. If I had a problem where I always felt hungry and was always thinking about food I’d likely be fat too
