I don’t know about that. A combo meal at McDonald’s is inching closer to 15$ in a lot of places. You can go down to the grocery store and get a good amount of food for that much. Healthy doesn’t necessarily mean only the expensive organic, free range, non GMO whatever foods are worth eating.
It’s often cheaper to buy fastfood than healthy food
It is a fair point, being obese and poor can definitely be a a horrific feedback loop to get out of.
In developed countries anyways, you don’t really see it in places where food is scarce, of course.

I wouldn’t say cheaper, but it’s definitely easier.
If time is money, than fastfood and processed foods are way cheaper than healthy options that require preparing and cleaning of pots/pans etc
That and food deserts. A lot of poor places in the US lack easy access to nutritious food.
