Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Food deserts exist, man. I've been there. Living in a shithole area with no shops supplying fresh foods, and no convenient transport links to such shops
You're probably just gonna go to the overpriced shop and buy processed crap, y'know?
Which is fine, just buy less of it. Calories matter. I understand what poverty is, trust me, but using poorness as an excuse to blame capitalism for your bad choices is silly. There's plenty wrong with capitalism already without blaming it for people's choices.
If processed food is the only option, how exactly do you "just buy less of it"? Eat nothing? Be serious, dude.
I've had great success losing weight and saving money at Taco Bell.
Reading the calories and reading the body's signals are key. It took awhile for me to separate the craving for flavors from the pangs of genuine hunger.
Nutrition tho...
The focus on weight, specifically, is a mistake. Health is far more than just weight. Eating junk food is bad, full stop, and will cause issues for health no matter your portions. This is the problem.
Diabetes, risk of cancer, addiction, malnutrition, even mental health problems, all are risk factors on a diet of processed food, even so-called "healthy" diets.
