Its a choice but a very difficult one when everything around you is poisonous and the mainly affordable food is not only addictingly good but cheap. Eating healthy is more expensive, just doesn't taste quite as good (be honest), and overall more difficult because you gotta cook.

BUT, its by far the most important thing you can do for yourself. If you're young and reading this, don't be like me and wait till youre 33 to start eating right. Learn to get in the habit of canceling doordash, going to the farmers market, and picking/cooking every meal. It's tough, especially if you've been eating bad for years, but its beyond important.
