I wasn't using it as the main or sole reason, just one example of misusing the system. Most of the "food" and drinks purchased aren't ideal. They're convenient and less healthy options.
Fair enough, I just don't think it's accurate to characterize the problem as poor people being weak-willed and irresponsible. There are real incentives that make it quite rational for people at low socioeconomic levels to eat like shit. If anything, it's the well-off SWPL crowd that has no excuse for leading an unhealthy lifestyle.
