It's also about taste. Fruits and vegetables in the US taste terrible. How do you want a kid to chose this sad dry dirt stick they call carrots when they got a deliciously engineered Maillard molecules stacked burger next to it ? Every time I go to the US, I have to spend crazy money at Whole food to get something only near the quality of what I get to regular supermarkets in France. And in my country, I try to avoid regular supermarkets because there is no joy in eating their fresh good. Of course you will eat a kit kat if you have to pay 3 times the price to get something healthy, and 5 times to get something satisfying. Plus remember, this tops the effort that is already required in choosing what to buy and cook it. It's an impossible game to win for many American. And it's a vicious circle. Being fed with crap lead to less energy, more disease, and worse mood, and so you have even less chance to catch on life opportunities. And less chance to ever eat healthy again.
