Food insecurity is an aspect of poverty and is not uncommon in the United States.
"Your eating choices" as a poor person might be to eat what and when and where you can afford to.

- teachingassist 5y agoThe last 20 years has probably made (much) less difference than you appear to think. From Wikipedia: "The rate of increase in the incidence of obesity began to slow in the 2000s". But, to attempt to answer your question: e.g., the expectation that both adults in a household will work means that people/parents are more likely to be time-poor and not able to cook. Cooking skills have been lost.
