This is not a first world problem.

In Brazil, the main diet is filled with these sorts of issues. People eat margarine and bread and whatever flavored cardboard comes cheap, but it’s really not always even necessary.

If you have money to put food on your plate here, you have money to put healthy food, vegetables and meat. The problem here is that there isn’t enough education to allow people to make these informed decisions, we rely on whatever is on the internet and whatever is tasty.

The lack of information here is what makes Brazil at the same time a poor country and yet still a fat country with too many heart problems and diabetes.
