I know exactly what you mean and I've long contended that airlines should amend their weight allowance policy - i.e. not just baggage allowance, but passenger and baggage allowance inclusive.
This might encourage frequent flying fatties to take more exercise and eat fewer pies

The cheap shit is cheap because it's full of corn, which Humans couldn't originally digest by the way, and yet almost every processed food has corn in it. Coke is sweetened with corn syrup, fried foods are fried in corn oil, and most potato chips ARE corn. We feed it to our livestock (they aren't supposed to eat it either) before processing them and since this is our food economy, we grow pretty much only corn here.

Fun fact: despite the variance in brands, packaging, preparation, even taste, all boxed, bagged or canned foods are produced by one of four firms.

As someone who eats healthily in this country I can tell you that it is fucking hard and expensive. I don't see a reason to get fat because of this (you will not gain weight without putting more food than needed into your body, this is the bottom line, It won't happen) but it doesn't help. Corn blows. Fresh green veggies and grass-raised meat, people!

...and now we're feeding corn to our cars too, which in this particular instance were NOT meant to digest it....

Funny, corn is like a super villain in our society.
