Guess what, 20 McNuggets can’t feed a family of four either. It’s not a meal plan for four, obviously one will need more food for more people. It’s a very specific example that you can buy healthy food for the same price as unhealthy food.
It’s not an assumption that people do this to themselves. It’s a fact. Nobody is being force fed. There are cheap healthy options. It’s a choice. I’m sorry this doesn’t fit a victim narrative, but nobody is force feeding you McDonald’s. People choose to go there or to go somewhere else. Even at McDonalds you can order the salad, which is also cheap. Hell, free charitable soup kitchens serve healthier food for free! There is not a city in America where you cannot acquire readily fruits and vegetables. Not a single one.
Yet again, we have an obesity problem at every step of the income ladder.

This is just not true. If you're a child at home your options begin and end with what's brought home for you to eat. That's not force feeding but it's not freedom of choice either.
It is also well documented that "fast food salads" are just as unhealthy as anything else on the menu.
You have not really allowed any room for anyone to be eating bad food for any other reason than because they choose to. I brought up expenses people face because I guess I think these things factor into food budgets as well.
