Of course you'll say that; it fits your narrative. Having money doesn't negate the accessibility and promotion of ultra processed food. A person can have a good job and make plenty of money, but not have time or effort to cook at home or stick to a specific plan. Some people may have health conditions that make them fat like thyroid issues or hell even depression which circularly makes people less likely to eat healthier. Regardless, UPF is the easiest to acquire, purposefully addictive and super cheap not unlike any other addictive substance.

The real issue is society has created these problems, provided the lucrative solutions and brainwashed people like you into blaming the victims because your experience isn't like theirs.

My experience is theirs. I grew up in a household that never had any real money issues, and was consistently fed UPFs. Drank probably around 6 sodas per day. Then one day I said "I'm tired of being fat. Why am I fat? Maybe its because I eat so much junk food, since it is well known that junk food makes you fat." So I stopped eating junk food and now I'm not fat. My parents and other people I knew in my hometown, meanwhile, continued eating junk food, and have continued to gain weight. I will firmly classify this as "their fault".

Ah right. You were fat now you hate fat people. That makes more sense to why you're the way you are.

I don't hate fat people. I just think that when my dad, for example, who is a boomer with a paid off house, a cushy management office job, and a significant 6 figure salary, goes to McDonalds on his lunch break, that that is a choice he made
