Really? You&#x27;re surprised that people in general don&#x27;t make the most healthy dietary choices? Given the almost epidemic rise of obesity and related issues in the West and particularly in the US?<p>Your conclusion is arrogant, unfair, unhelpful, and unactionable. To be fair, the &quot;corporations are evil&quot; conclusion is similarly unhelpful.<p>This is actually a prime example of a coordination problem [1]. We&#x27;re going to have to do better than just pushing the blame around if we&#x27;re going to do something about it. For instance, obesity is a bigger problem among the poor than the well-to-do. Why? One of the most trivial reasons is the fact that unhealthy food is also inexpensive!<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;slatestarcodex.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;07&#x2F;30&#x2F;meditations-on-moloch&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;slatestarcodex.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;07&#x2F;30&#x2F;meditations-on-moloch&#x2F;</a>
