If one suggests restricting how much one eats out of financial reasons, then that is a clear indicator that very likely there's a big systemic problem in the room we aren't discussing.
I agree. Malnourishment due to inequality (or any other reason) is bad. I also agree that there is a systemic problem where healthy food is drastically less accessible than unhealthy food.
I don't, however, think that this headline is an outrageous thing to say. I, for one, am choosing to buy less food than I usually eat (especially meat) due to its cost, but also for health and environmental reasons. There is more nuance than just "eat the rich".
