When you're working two or more jobs to make ends meet, it's hard to take the time to make a healthy meal from scratch when you can just pop microwave dinners in. In many cases, kids are feeding themselves while their parents are at work.
Education is part of it. Money is part of it. But it's a VERY complicated issue.
