Anon is right, in a lot of cities there's no grocery stores that can make it because the room is hella expensive, so they move out to the burbs where you'd need a car or super reliable public transportation to get to them. Lots of places don't have public transport, and lots of people don't have cars. So there's a whole bunch of places like 7/11 that pop up to fill the gaps, but they don't have shit like chicken breasts and fresh veggies in them. They've got frozen pizzas and chips, maybe some cereal. Bananas if you're super lucky.

You know how a bag of chips doesn't fill you up at all? A little personal size one of pic related is 160 cals per serving. Sounds like no big deal right? Yeah, there's 2.5 "servings" in every bag because a "serving" is ten chips. the whole small bag is 390 cals.

A double patty hamburger with lettuce, tomato, and thousand island sauce is 354 cals.

So if you snack on just one bag every couple of days, in a week you'll have eaten about 1200 extra calories. In a month that's 4800 cals, and a pound of fat is around 3,436 and 3,752 calories. So that's a pound and a bit every month.

But of course, that's just taking into account a bag of not filling chips, and we're assuming you don't have it every day. Now add on to that the fact that you're eating mostly frozen food pre-made pizzas and soups that are loaded with sodium and corn syrup but are deficient in actual vitamins. Your body sends out signals that it NEEDS some of those vitamins pronto, and so you're hungry again. But there's only frozen pizzas or very expensive take-out food around you, so you buy the frozen pizza again. There's none of those vitamins in that, so your body keeps telling you you're hungry.

Bam, you're gaining weight at a rapid pace, never feeling truly satiated, and as a bonus you're severely malnourished despite being large as a house due to a lack of vitamins and minerals.
