> an estimated 13.5 million people in the United States have low access to a supermarket or large grocery store [0]

That's 4% of the population. Food deserts explain some of it but not the majority

The rest yeah I absolutely agree with. People are stressed and time deficient, don't have food storage and prep skills

Maybe in a roundabout way it just comes back to money? If you need to work or study too much and don't feel you have the time to cook, you'll get the easiest options you know

Part of it can be overcome with strategy. I spend 15 minutes a day on food prep and couldnt imagine how I'd make my diet healthier. I'm sure what you make is much more elaborate though haha
