| No one will push against the claim there's far too many calories available, on average, in Western countries. That consumption is the automatic answer to anything that ails, it could be argued as well. It reeks of ignorance and obstinate privilege to claim people are too rich to care about food [1] [2], that having to travel 3 miles to get food is not a barrier to access [3] [4]. Saying that processed foods are more expensive than fresh is an outright lie [5][6][7]. The HN discussion forums are one of the last remaining places where we can expect civil and informed online discourse.

This is faux-intellectual. Your sources never even back up your claims.
Low-quality googling and nice formatting won't change reality.
Go check out the website Efficiency Is Everything, that website actually compares foods objectively.
