I know you are using your experience as an example...but I think with real poverty, you probably wouldnt know much about nutrition and neither would your parents...with enough caloric difficiency and without proper nutrition, much of the decision making/studying/long-term-planning abilities degrade quite rapidly.

That's the thing. I was pretty self-aware and I still made those choices. Imagine how much worse it is for people who don't even know what they're doing to themselves. They'll just keep pushing on ahead while their mind and body deteriorates.

  Those choices are pretty hard - modern junk food has been engineered to reinforce unhealthy consumption, the US (mostly) dictates international laws around junk food restriction[1] and it's exporting the terrible free-market approach to food choice. Some of these junk foods should be heavily taxed or just outright illegal. 1.
