Similarities between porn and junk food

The Angry Nutritionist is both informative and entertaining (and is very angry). His latest video on the similarities between pornography and junk food is worth a watch. He is particularly upset because there is recent evidence that despite public health education touting the benefits of fruit and vegetables, Americans are actually eating less. A study released this fall from the CDC showed that only 26 percent of the nation’s adults eat vegetables three or more times a day.

His points and videos are thought provoking. I would argue that cost is probably and instant gratification are probably the two things that are most similar. Because of the Internet, porn is now free. One could argue that the best way to get Americans to eat healthier is to make junk food more expensive and fruits and vegetables more affordable.
