That's the cause I think they were referring to.
Unfortunately they were implying that that's outside people's control, like lead exposure or something, which is why they got the response they did. For the moment, anyway, it's possible to eat good-ish if you educate yourself andfamiliarize yourself with your local area's businesses. Even even there is nothing but a walmart, you can still buy veggies. If they don't have veggies, you can buy nuts and beans. Going to McDonalds is a choice. Eating frozen dinners with family sized bags of chips for dessert is something people do because of lack of education or exhaustion, both problems with our society, but if you are the person in question then, you, personally can choose to eat healthy. It just won't be as appealing.
Of course it's "possible;" anything is "possible." What matters is, why is it apparently harder to do in the US than in other places?
Something is different on the societal level that changes the average outcomes. Disregarding that because you're bent on blaming individuals for perceived moral failings is missing the point.
