There are elements of ignorance and laziness in so much of the instant/takeaway food popularity. The laziness aspect is inherent, even when you consider that it's easier to cook a meal than to get in the car to go and buy a takeaway. Of course the ability to spend more and get everything delivered adds another unfortunate aspect to the equation.
The ignorance aspect is sad, which is where I come back to criticising the media. Instead of promulgating the "I'm so poor I only eat 2-minute noodles" they could so easily use their power to show the cheap but healthier and equally easy alternatives.
Teenagers who haven't been taught can be forgiven for not having learned. Middle-aged and older people have had a lifetime to learn what they need to know to live regardless of background.
