So somebody's guilt should be determined by their popularity? That's ridiculous.
In a court of law, that would be ridiculous. In the court of public opinion, which is what politics is at the end of the day, that's how it works.

And eating healthy takes money to buy nicer things, you need fruits and vegetables available to purchase, and you need time to prepare it. Meanwhile you have to work longer hours or second job to pay bills, you have to pay more per item, like a dollar more per gallon of milk or loaf of bread, and carry enough groceries for several days on a bus (honestly its usually bus to and taxi from).
Of course obesity and malnutrition, especially in the same people, are symptoms of poverty.
Its takes a lot of time and effort to eat healthy, its a real privilege.
Its soooo much cheaper and easier to get a stouffers lasanga or KFC.
Is it really that hard to, for example, buy a pack of frozen vegetables (which btw retain most of their vitamines) and a box of eggs and prepare scrambled or fried egg with spinach? Is it that hard to cook some rice instead of french fries? Is it that hard to drink soda instead of coke?
I dont deny that it requires more time, effort and discipline to eat somewhat healthy, particularly when you're poor. I totally get that. It IS hard, definitely. But you describe it as this insurmountable mountain to climb, and I just fail to see that...
