Yeah because poor people are famously known for switching to home cooked vegan meals which naturally decreases their calorie intake.

No if course not, but that is something entirely different that cost being the issue

Cost isn’t the only issue but it plays a big factor and this is a well established fact I didn’t think I’d even need to debate.
High calorie and low nutrition food (processed snacks, sugary drinks, fast food, refined carbs, and added fats/sugars) are cheaper per calorie than their nutrient-dense higher quality counterparts (fresh vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, whole grains, etc.).

It is not “well established”, your own link only lists it as one possibility out of several, and is by no means conclusive.
also from your source:
This is a highly complex issue, and cost doesn’t seem to be the main driver at all, definitely not conclusively.
