But that the average American is so out of touch with how food --presumably bad, shitty food and nutrition

A substantial part is that our food is filled with shit.

They add sugar to everything. Food marketing is insane, and so much of it should be illegal.

Sometimes I want to buy juice that doesn’t have a shitload of sugar in it. Getting a loaf of bread will involve eating extra sugar. The country subsidizes corn, so high fructose corn syrup is added to everything.

Unregulated hell capitalism means that food gets to be pumped full of shit. Broke and stressed people rely on convenience foods - which don’t need to be unhealthy but are purposefully made so with addictive ingredients.
