>Our ancestors had far less resources than us and still managed to make food without spaghetti-o cans or ramen packets. So poor people should live like medieva

  If medieval serfs had a healthier diet than why not? But my point is even poor people in the USA generally have access to a much higher standard of living than a serf. Unlike a medieval peasant there are many easy to access non-ultraprocessed foods that are also cheap. Pretty much every rental apartment or home has a stove and most have an oven. Focusing on increasing wealth, as the article does, doesn’t really make sense to me. The middle class suffers from the obesity crisis too, for the same dietary reasons.
