My follow up questions:
- Do unhealthy food options lead to obesity, or do lifestyles drive demand for food options (or some mix of the two)?
- Regarding the income relationship: does income drive lifestyle or are unhealthy foods cheaper to offer?
I personally believe the first option in both of these questions, though I’d love to see some formal research on it.
