I used to have a weight problem when I grew up in an American suburb of Philly. I felt guilty eating fast food burgers, etc. Three decades later I live in a European capital and walk nearly everywhere. According to my watch I average over 10km per day, mostly without even trying. Now I eat burgers whenever I want and I'm normal body weight. Living in the city is better for the environment. So is eating plant-based food. The lesson here? You will probably always crave the same food but you have a choice where you live, how much you exercise, and what impact you have on the future of the planet. Fast food is never going to healthy enough for suburban couch potatoes who drive everywhere. That's not what it's for.
