All this, plus availability - lots of the 'food deserts' with no fresh fruit and veg within half a mile are in London and other cities, and the fact that if you're cold then you genuinely need more calories. And if the main luxury you had growing up was a hit of sugar which is a penny even now, that's going to affect your taste associations. but I would welcome attempts to make healthier food cheaper, and more available so that more people have more actual choice about what they eat, rather than being forced into making the cheapest choice. I'll get back to the day job then...
