What we eat when we’re outside of home is completely dependent on what’s available and what’s affordable.

Bullshit. It depends on what's delicious, and hence, unhealthy.

Exactly. There’s plenty of salad available, but that’s not what I choose. What is this fantasy that it’s expensive to eat healthy? Legumes are literally 1/1000th the cost of beef per calorie. Yet people choose meat, because it’s delicious. Then they die of chronic illness. Instead of making fun of ourselves for being totally predictable dumb apes, we write these ridiculous articles.
