Cheap junk food is much more palatable than cheap healthy food. > Most places have access to a Walmart which is as good nutritionally as any grocery store that ever existed. Walmart tends to avoid the inner city. If you don't have a car there generally isn't one close enough to shop at more than once a week or so. Bringing home a week of groceries for a family on bus isn't a trivial task. It's much easier to pick up some cheap food from a convenience store. > Christ, even your typical gas station sells salad these days. If you compare the per calorie price of that salad to junk food, it's much more expensive.
