> Who are you, random internet weirdo, to indict seven billion people
I'm one of those people, which makes me as qualified to say "we suck" as it makes you to claim the opposite.
> You couldn't even be bothered to cite one article that would prove spending more money is correlated with obesity.
Seriously? Way to twist my words. But anyways:
calories in - calories out - calories burned = weight gain
Calories in costs money proportional to amount. It doesn't matter whether it's healthy calories or not. If you ate nothing but sausage, you would gain less weight the less sausage you ate. Nobody needs a study for that. It's trivially obvious and follows from the very basics of physics, chemistry, and biology. The notion that we need a study to prove that more food costs more money is laughable to the extreme.
