I seriously think this is a regional thing. In some parts of the country eating garbage is considered fun, and it's something people get together to do. Probably overlaps with this map to some degree.

>i look down on people that dont admit to being at least somewhat racist.
Interesting. I don't think of race as a scientific concept - it's far too imprecise to be meaningful. But there is no doubt different groups of people have different cultures, and can have very different experiences simply by virtue of how they look.

Pretending this isn't true doesn't make it go away because it's ingrained in our history. It's no surprise that the Diabetes Belt pretty much lines up with the distribution of the African-American population. For 400 years these folks did the heavy lifting on a diet of garbage. Now they can throw down a fuckton sugar on top of a diet of garbage, and they jump at the chance.

But that's more an issue of culture and history than science.

>Who electrics the officials into office and who pays these companies money for their food products?
Money influences elections. Agriculture makes the most money in the Midwest and the South. So if you think along the lines of following the money those would be the places with the most lax attitudes toward the quality of food, because there is where it's big business.

And it kinda pans out. Pic related.
