In The Health Toll of Immigration, the primary reason for obesity was because of the availability of cheap food that taste good at a low price. The passage makes connection to those recently immigrated with low incomes, but as someone who is the child of two working parents, I know that the reason isn’t always because of low income, it could be because of the workaholic standard in America leads to less time devoted to nutritious, healthy home-cooked meals.

Will this ever stop? It seems like a huge crisis, because there’s a TON of influx of immigrants, who end up with blue-collar jobs, as well as many people in the middle class who just can’t devote the time to healthy eating. Is it possible to solve this problem? Or will deaths due to diabetes and obesity be on an exponential rise from here on?
