Ever try being poor? Pretty hard to eat well when you have zero time after working multiple jobs and dealing with all the expensive, time consuming hassles of not being wealthy.

There is neither time nor energy for meal prep. Making convenient food more expensive and less accessible won’t make a difference from a health front, more people will just opt to unalive themselves earlier rather than struggle even harder. Far fewer will opt to buy luxury housing with a chef’s kitchen and multiple high capacity fridges and freezers to fill with organic produce from farmer’s markets.

I’ve had to make the choice between food and sleep in the past and always opted for sleep. But that’s not a great choice for children whose bodies and minds are developing.

I also question the validity of processed = awful. Take a trip to rural areas and look at the populace there. We’re not talking just high calorie humans here, we’re talking “people experiencing prodigious caloric intake.” And these are farmers growing and not processing their food, not much blame to be laid at the feet of Tyson.

Regulate yourself, I don’t need your feel-good legislation.
