>>211488365It's explained in the movie. And no, it doesn't cost that much to get that fat in America. The worst foods are very cheap. Not as cheap as bulk grains and raw vegetables, but those wouldn't present an obesity problem.
Look at how cheap things like Little Debbie products are. Like 12 sugar and fat filled airy carb logs for $1.99.
2 liter bottles of store brand soda are $1
1 gallon tubs of shitty 'frozen dairy dessert' (not real ice cream) cost $3.50
Big bags of chips are $2. Cheap bread is $1 a loaf, shitty lunch meat is $2/lb.
Even when they whale out on pizza it's like $25. Not a huge splurge for what probably ends up being two humongous meals. They may be getting even cheaper stuff.
