That reads like it is two halve stories. Whatever you are trying doesn't really work.

The trick to getting people to eat healthy is the same trick you use to make yourself eat healthy. Prepare healthy food. Once you made the fried chicken and mashed potatoes would you throw it away? fuck no! You'd eat the hell out of that chicken and it will be the best thing you ate all day!
But if you made both the chicken and got out and bought chicken nuggets you would try to eat both, you may eat one before the other, or if there is someone else there you will work out some scheme to share stuff but everything will get eaten.
The only thing that happened with people preferring the twinky over the granola bars is that they picked one before the other, not instead of the other. If it took long enough, and they had no expectation that others would arrive they probably would have eaten a granola bar too.

Also, there is some evidence that we have a biological urge to amass calories when presented.  So if presented with twinkies or granola, most people would go for twinkies if not asked to think about their decision.

True, some people think they taste gross, but I think there's a large enough probability to be comfortable with that assessment

I find it very amusing that anyone gives a shit about what other people are eating.

I'd go for a twinkie over a honey and oat granola bar anytime. Because I hate honey and oat granola bars. Make it a fruit and nut or hell even a peanut butter one and then I'd choose the granola.

I'm amused at the idea that pre-packaged granola bars are somehow more nutritional and healthier than twinkies. Because it may be barely technically true, but they're still utter junk.

My thing is, why eat EITHER one, when I have something like 64 cuisines within a 20 minute drive?

Twinkie vs vindaloo.   No question.

Granola bar vs shishkabob.  DUH.

I explained earlier, but it's because I work with men and women who are down and out trying to come up. So the food we get is donated to us from various networks of charities. Trust me, most of these citizens are simply happy to have a breakfast today.

That said if you can get any Indian places to donate dosa or poha for the morning I'm sure people would love it. Oh, who are we kidding they would STILL chose the twinkies.

So, wait.  You're getting upset because destitute people eat sweet food when they have a choice?

I spend a certain amount of hours a week really putting honest time in with these citizens trying to improve their lives. The problem is, they have made and continue to make all the wrong choices.

I think I see the problem.

Do I really need to point out the tangible societal costs of poor nutrition?

Really?

This new guy seems pretty alright, why is almost everyone lining up to shit on his perfectly reasonable post about being frustrated that people seem to choose the lower-nutrition options every time?

I mean, I know we have frustrations and need adversaries to take them out on, but isn't that what Facebook is for?
