Go out and buy yourself a nice piece of wild caught salmon and make a salad with Avocados, tomatoes,... glass of red wine and you get the idea.

Buy McDonald's for a family of 4. 40 bucks minimum. I can make a nutritious meal at home for under 20 bucks. I'm the cook 6 out of 7 nights a week.

People don't get fat because they're poor and have to make poor eating choices, they get fat because they are too lazy to shop and cook and opt for a drive to McDonald's instead.

Your assertions are not backed by the latest scientific discoveries.

They are not assertions. I suggest you go buy 4 meal combos at any local fast food chain. Compare that to the price of a rice/potatoes, vegetables and meat dish at home for 4. It's half the cost.

There are other ways to get fat of course, but those who claim "it's cheaper to eat fast food" are full of it.

I think your getting mixed up about the cost of food and causes of obesity, the science on obesity is related to the health of your guts and stomach, that is the reference to the latest science.

Sugar and fast food combined with laziness is the driving force of obesity in North America.
If I'm not mistaken North Americans have some of the highest numbers of diabetes in the world.
Asian countries are much lower in obesity for sure. Fish and rice has zero sugar, low fat. Pizza-Hut, McDonald's, not so good.

Not mixed up at all.

As I said there are other ways to get fat, but it's predominantly inactivity and poor diet. If you remember, it was you who originally brought up the "cheap food sources".

I'm well aware of how it all works, I went from 188 lb to 152 lb within the last year by cutting out booze and fast food. Doctor confirmed this week there wasn't anything wrong with my guts that either originally increased my weight or decreased my weight, just got into some poor habits then got myself out of them.

This time last year I had some chuckles at people that were pointing at Italy and saying "They are all so old"...
Not thinking about why Italians are so old......And North Americans aren't relatively speaking

You can eat healthy and not break the bank, but you have to shop and cook your own food.
I can purchase a 7 pound roast for about 20-23$ and a 20lb bag of rice for 20$.

Very convenient that you suddenly were talking to your Doctor ONLY last week and specifically about your guts. NOT.

Try reading some of the science on the matter

Poor eating habits, stuck inside for months, lack of exercise, lack of sun. Gotta be draining peoples immune systems. It's a wonder half these people could survive a common cold let alone a deadly contagious virus.
