Dog I love the Daily Mail comments section!

"Why is the guy in the video placing blame for fat kids upon the most
economically deprived parents? They're not too stupid to cook, nor are
they deliberately fattening up their little piglets for market. The
plain truth of it is that junk food is cheaper than healthy food, and it
has a much longer life span in the kitchen. The cost of meat, even
ground/minced beef, is insane, and the cost of milk, fresh veg, and
fruit can be quite high, too. When you've got kids to feed, pantry's
almost bare, it's 3 days till payday, and all you've got is a tenner,
you're not apt to spend that on salad fixings since it won't provide
that many meals. You're going to toss in your trolley the cheapest milk,
cereal, boxed mac and cheese, pasta, jar sauce, fish fingers, frozen
pizza, and hope like hell you haven't overspent because you literally
have no more money. THAT'S why poor people are fat".
