It would be hella easier if there were fast food places or plenty of quick grocery options that weren't somehow tainted with salt and additives. Walk down the grocery aisle and you have to read a gazillion labels just to find something that's healthy for you.
Yeah, people need to take responsibility for their actions, but it shouldn't have to be as difficult as it is to make the right decisions. People don't have the time or patience for that.

I eat out a couple of times a week. Not fast food. And I only eat whole grains, and no potatoes (sweet potatoes are ok). It can be hard to find things to eat, but in most restaurants you can.
The bottom line is that if you want to eat healthy you can. Trust me. I live in the highest cost of living state on the country, and fruit and veggie prices are through the roof. I also took a 25% pay cut in January. Times have been tough, but I still manage to buy healthy foods. I've had to cut back on other things, but sacrificing entertainment for health is a good trade off.
