I find the problem is more that processed foods tend to be overloaded in carbs. Most flavored drinks have lots of carbs. BBQ sauce and ketchup is basically carbs and water. Low fat food replaces fat with carbs. Hot dogs and burgers replace meat with carbs.

And then you eat a hot dog with the bread and feel like it's the bread that makes you feel bad, when it's really both of them together.

I agree, high carb and high fat food are so palatable and available everywhere, which makes them convenient.

It doesn’t take much to go above your RDI. Unfortunately to support a healthy diet you really do need to cook your own food most of the time.
