Sounds like the solution is contained in the article??

More people are finding that the only work they can find is a desk job working long hours with a long commute and many expenses to worry about.

Throw in the US' massive subsidies for meat, soy, sugars, a cultural love of fried food (just go to any restaurant or convenience store)- and voila, you have a cheap vice for those overworked, unfit people to indulge in.

The solution would be for work to be less hours (more time to exercise), from home (no commute = live somewhere more active and financially sustainable), and for all food sources to be unsubsidized, so that people can decide that $2 for a pound of frozen veggies and some sauce is a great deal compared to the $3 box of oreos/goldfish
