I know that. I have had partners and friends who were like this. Just because someone is all that you know, doesn't mean isn't a self-defeating self-impoverishing cycle of choices.

Just because a choice is easy and convenient and seemingly cheap doesn't make it a good choice. There are other choices, even if you don't know they exist. Especially with the internet in everyone's pocket. What is stopping someone from just looking up a recipe?

I think you misunderstand the general state of people suffering from the effects of companies forcing this upon us. For you and I it is as simple as look up a recipe and do it, some people truly do not know. They don't know to look for something else. They dont know if something is unhealthy.

And that is their own fault.

Nobody forces me to cook, nor do they force me to go buy fast food. Those are choices I make.

Even if I perceive fast food as my own choice, that doesn't mean I am correct. I am wrong. It's on me to fix my mistakes.

When I was 12 I thought McDonalds was the GREATEST food in the world. Most kids do. I didn't know it was unhealthy. But they are wrong. And it was on me to grow up and learn that McDonalds was terrible for me and should be avoided rather than celebrated.

Similar, what are we to do about Alcoholics? Condemn alcohol companies? Ban them? Or do we put the onus on them to heal themselves?
