    I for one am shocked by this revelation. Shocked.

    I can confirm, gained 8kg after moving to a place where mostly meat+potatoes is served, there are also some pizzerias.

    My follow up questions:

    1. Do unhealthy food options lead to obesity, or do lifestyles drive demand for food options (or some mix of the two)?
    2. 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.
