Diet is the easiest thing on that list of 5 things in all first world countries.

It's just that people refuse to engage with a simple diet. All you have to do is start to cook for yourself and it's done, your diet is solved by the required meats, vegetables and carbs you get in a basic home cooked meal two times a day. Even if it's reheated.

I know what you mean, but not strictly true. I cook everything from scratch - the most processed ingredient I use is probably a can of whole tomatoes or occasionally a pack of pasta. I’m a good cook, I think, and it’s easy for me to make our meals, but I do like things to taste good, and I no doubt add more butter, olive oil and cheese to things than is strictly healthy.
No one is going to get fat from adding proper amounts of fats, sugars and salts to their home cooked meals provided they are average in the first place.
