So here’s the kicker that SO many people forget to consider:

Jobs that pay shit in the U.S., and/or have garbage benefits, are often also the ones that make you move around an extraordinary amount, or have you on your feet for 8-10 hours with a 50/50 chance of being allowed to sit down for 15 minutes.

Both of the activities above illustrate one incredibly important unseen factor: Energy. Use more, eat more, spend more.

Do the math.

Moreover, in these highly stressful positions eating generates the elusive dopamine. Which combined with 15 minutes to shove food down your throat often means sugar, grease, and salt.
