>People is overweight because they can not afford healthy food. Fruits and other healthier food is more expensive than junk food. This is wrong. I study food as my expertise, and junk food is always less than 200 calories per dollar. Fresh fruit is similar while home cooked food is a significantly better value. I wont address the other points until you revise this one. Its factually incorrect. Google Calories Per Dollar or Nutrient Per Dollar, or Mcdonalds Calories Per Dollar. The data exists and you need to get up to speed.

What about prep time? Calories-per-dollar / prep time. That might be a factor, especially with the long hours many poor people face.

  Funny you mention this, the actual unit would be Calories squared/(dollar*second). The article was studied literally yesterday and the conclusion for under 3 minute (prep) meals was that Ramen was number 1. However, I'm considering putting this recipe on the list since its a slow cooker http://www.kidsinkitchens.org/ http://www.kidsinkitchens.org/

I have seen in this thread people comparing prepared food to raw food. And, of course, raw food is cheaper. You need to compare apples to apples. Prepared healthy food is way more expensive than junk food. Healthy diet costs three times that of junk food https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/11149644/Healthy-diet-costs-three-times-that-of-junk-food.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/11149644/Healthy-diet-costs... I hope that his answers your question and we can talk about the rest of the points. :)
