I cook nearly every meal, but I think fast food is less expensive than eating at home, especially in poverty stricken areas.
I'm talking about the simple stuff: burgers, fries, tacos. I'd say it costs $1.50 to make a burger at home figuring in meat, bread, cheese, lettuce, tomato, condiments and you can buy one for a buck.
Besides that, the poorer an area is, the less access there is to grocery stores. If you have to shop at 7-11 for all the ingredients, that burger will cost you way more than $1.50 even.
People do have choices and I don't believe McDonalds is evil or anything like that. However, fast food does contribute to obesity one way or another and I think the lower your class level is, the harder you get hit.
