To everyone who commented on the "Mighty Atom" post... Thanks for the feedback and lively discussion!
For my part, regarding nutrition, I remain a staunch advocate of eating habits that focus primarily on the consumption of fruits and vegetables; good-quality meats, fish, poultry, and dairy; eggs; nuts and seeds; relatively small amounts of grain, if any (primarily rice, millet, or quinoa); and plenty of fresh water. I believe good health and an enjoyable life are all about balance... never say never, but know when to say enough is enough!
Cheers,

That having been said i'd point that in many cities we
have what are called "food deserts."
In other words you'll find tons of fast food places
that serve pizza, burgers, subs, etc. But you won't find
any supermarkets where you can get stuff like fruits,
vegetables, or other healthy food. In too many cities you
have to drive a fair distance (outside of the inner city
to a distant suburb to find this healthy food.
Now there are various reasons why this is so but it is.
In too many of these inner cities you have establishments that
cater to people who work in the downtown area 9-5 monday thru
friday but between Friday 5pm and 9am Monday the only choices
you have are a local drug store if you're lucky.
Finally i'd point out that in recent yesra the prices for
"fast food" have actually gone down in recent years while the
cost of "healthy" food has increased substantially.
I guess what your saying boils down to eating healthy is for the rich and middle class,if there are many of those left nowadays,who can afford the cost of fresh foods.I feel you can still get deals on fresh fruits and veggies but you'll have to seek those out a little more.Cheers

No. Eating healthy requires having a car and the will to drive
an hour plus to the nearest store. (even more with traffic.)
Too many downtown areas have no supermarkets. The reasons for
this include high crime, the high cost of property,
lack of locations available, etc.
