What if, instead of perpetuating the narrative of diet culture and "healthy food" vs. "junk food", we worked harder to provide food for those who actually need food. What if, and hear me out here, we educated people on making healthy decisions and more importantly, maintaining a healthy, positive relationship with food and their bodies?

Isn't healthier eating more about convenience than education or anything else. If it's easier for people to eat healthy compared to eating unhealthy, they'll take that up.

Path of least resistance and all that

That's a good point, I hadn't considered that! Have a lovely day.
