Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I think it could be because unhealthy food that can cause obesity is more addictive and therefore more profitable.

Yes absolutely. Fast food chains literally make their food more addictive in order to generate more profit. There is little to no incentive by our governments to make healthy food cheaper or to severely limit the influence fast food companies have, because that would disturb the 'free market'.
