Did people actually eat Junk food like normal diet?
Damn, I can't even imagine that.
When you literally don't have the money to buy groceries or the time to prepare food, yep. Or the education to truly understand the impacts of eating that food all the time... This is why poor people in America are overweight.
Americans have to go out of their way to not buy junk food since nearly everything sold in stores technically falls into that category.
The entire middle of store is just pure sugar. One aisle of juice and sports drinks, next aisle of sugar cereal and sugar bars, next aisle soda, next aisle chips and candy, next aisle literal sugar and baking goods, you get to deviate into simple carbs for two aisles after that of canned goods, pasta and international foods and then were back to the sugar in the freezer section.
If you really think about what is actual food and not some sugar snack you could fit an entire grocery store into the footprint of a GameStop sized store.
