Yeah: reducing energy consumption and population means economies suffer. Suffering economies mean lost jobs and low wages. Lost jobs and low wages mean people can't afford as much as they once did. Not being able to afford much means eating on the cheap. Cheap food means fried food, empty calories, fillers, etc.

Eating healthy is expensive, especially in the US. Just look to the poor areas of the country to see the lack of the fit and trim.
