It's probably easier to monetize chocolate bars, pizza and reddit (ads). Easier to slip into "junk" mode and harder to stop.

My exercise equipment is long paid for (10+ years ago), I watch sports while exercising (subscription paid whether I exercise or not) and going to bed early means less need for caffeine / painkillers to get through the day. Veggies are somewhat more expensive, not sure if the margins are as high on them as on ultra-processed food.

And yet, I'm right there with you - I struggle daily with doing the right thing.

For the elderly, participating on Reddit would probably be a step up.

Cable news and Tiktok are far worse.
