You are correct, it's not the food deserts, redlining, institutional and systemic factors, widespread government corruption spearheaded by Coke and McDonalds lobbyists promoting unhealthy products, that led to poor nutritional attainment among poor Americans.

It's the lack of discipline.

Give me a a break.

As they don’t buy those things.

> redlining

Not sure what that has to do with food.

> institutional and systemic factors

Hand waving.

> promoting unhealthy products

Coke and McDonalds don’t put the straw or the fries in your mouth. The 4th point of yours is the lack of discipline on the part of these people.
