Yep, same thing here in Ireland. People are time poor and turn to convenience food from packets, cans and tins - processed shite. For me the saddest thing is always seeing Obesity in young children who have no control over it and are being set up for a harder life than if they weren't obese. Let's not bullshit anyone, life is easier if your BMI is in check. I think technology is the other factor here as well, with people's obsession with screens and a more sedentary lifestyle.

There was a time when this was an American epidemic, but it's now worldwide, but only the more Western countries. People need to get back to whole foods and "Granny's recipes" as @cryptoandcoffee suggests
