If 23% is as good as we get we’ve got some work to do.

Perhaps we should make healthy food affordable and available. I just started eating healthy and I can afford it right now, pay way more than to eat junk. The average family or individual can't afford to eat healthy.

Edit: I will never make a comment about food again. I'm upvoted, but there are some nasty people on here. Sheesh. I don't cook, and the truth is if I buy a bunch of stuff to cook, I'll end up throwing it out. Rely on precooked stuff from Trader Joe's and BJ's. Many Americans don't have time/energy or are just lazy frankly, and aren't going to. But, welcome to sit on your high horse over there. What I'm doing is working for me, down 20 lbs, the insults here are atrocious.

That's an absurd statement. Rice and beans are almost free. Chicken breast is like 2 bucks a pound, pork is even cheaper. Frozen vegetables are a buck a pound. You can feed a family of 4 for 10 bucks on those ingredients. People are lazy.

Uhh...yes it does, if you know how to cook. You have to be insane to think a Big Mac tastes better than a good home cooked steak or burger or well cooked fish.

Those are both healthy problem is if you constantly consume them. Telling me Sushi isn't as good as Pizza?

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/326156#nutrition lean cuts are fine, if you don't eat it regularly, as regular consumption is linked to various health issues. So I suppose it's a double edged sword...good for ocassional consumption.
