Junk food prices alone don't explain America's obesity crisis
Original: Why are Americans obese? Junk food prices shouldn't get all the blame
A Washington Post food-section piece argues that cheap junk food should not take all the blame for high obesity rates in the United States. Writing against the familiar claim that unhealthy food is simply too affordable, the article points to a study involving the prices of vegetables and other foods, suggesting that portion sizes, eating habits and lifestyle deserve more attention as drivers of the country's obesity problem.
Why now: The piece challenges a widely held explanation for America's obesity epidemic, inviting debate over food costs, diet and personal habits.
