Is it? I thought one reason that obesity was higher among people with lower incomes is that it's cheaper for them to buy prepared food than to work an hour less and cook themselves?
If I spent the time I did on cooking on paid work instead, the money I would make could pay for a very good meal. (of course, I don't, I still cook because I can't spend every waking hour working or I'd go insane)
That's not exactly it. It's more practical and it's more expensive but not so much more expensive that it's out of reach like better prepared options might be.
