If obesity in America is such a problem, then why do vending machines stock junk food?

And why do convenience stores regularly stock junk food? I live a very fast-paced life where I really can’t cook or prepare food without it affected getting to work, getting to the venue where I am performing, etc, on time. For me it’s rush rush rush with little time for sleep, even.

So, I am at the mercy of eating whatever food is nearby, and while I practically starve if the vending machine is the only choice, it really sucks that I need to do that. why not make healthy food more available.

Unless no on really wants to solve the problem.
Oh, about bringing your own, not always an option. Yeah, when I have time, I do it. when 5 minutes make the difference between me being on time or not, then it isn’t

    Because in America, there is unfettered free enterprise. It reigns supreme, well before good sense, or, in this case, good health. Profits beat health every time. Just look at health care in America – profit driven, with sick people being turned away from hospitals every day.
