Another statistic from your source

> Around 2.3 billion people in the world (29.3%) were moderately or severely food insecure in 2021

It’s easy to talk on a forum like this, where the median salary is massive compared to global/country median, that poor people shouldn’t be able to afford as much bad food. I think when you do so you’ve lost touch with the average person who is affected by things like shrinkflation.

I never meant to imply poor people, as in starvation poor, should not be able to afford as much bad food.

But generally, the people eating burgers in developed countries have a choice of eating healthier foods, and choose to eat burgers instead.
