> the unavailability of affordable, healthy ingredients (fruits, vegetables)

That's a complete lie. It's way cheaper to purchase healthy ingredients and cook than to get fast food. It's completely cultural.

Yes, and we have a culture of overwork so even if people did want to cook at home they’re too exhausted or short on time to consistently cook healthy meals.

If humans behave rationally and eating healthy is cheaper and healthier why don’t more people do it?

Look at immigrant households. Poor, overworked, yet they cook.

It's a matter of culture.
