Long working hours and long range distances to drive steal quite a chunk of time from one's normal daytime to live.
Cooking and preparing of meals made with fresh ingredients take a bit of time too, so it's a question of: What do you want more? Sleeping or eating healthy?
Pretty often it's sleep what people "decide" for. Not only decide, but their bodies barely leave them a choice. Being worked down and tired is a thing that can't be overcome except for if you dope the body to strength and alert levels that it naturally only has when danger looms.
But your body doesn't have the energy left to play scenario "danger" every day, so it's going to decide for sleep in the long term development.
So, what will you do with your hunger which is present at the same time?
Yes, grab things that don't take much time to prepare. If you can even skip the whole preparation-process, your mind will decide to take those foods which can be consumed quickly. Those without requiring much effort from the state "ready to eat" to getting them down your throat.
So you have one more hour to rest.
If you'd need to prepare all your food after work still so that you can eat it, which time of the day you still wanted to get some sleep? After all those long working hours, long ways home and the irregular callings "Quick! You gotta come! Someone else didn't come to work, you need to compensate!"? You never really have time to take care of proper nutrition of yours. Not even to speak of the energy that's missing on you. That's why societies that rely on such a model for work literally are in need of such processed junk foods. Time for hand-making is not there, but food consumption still remains a vital interest of the human body to go on existing.
So they think of adding everything to the food prepackaged, that people (workers) can enjoy full supply with nutrients without still needing to bring in much effort themselves.
But, the chemicals and additives they put into the food to get it ready to eat and prolong the decay of the meals, in the end, prove more harmful to human health than they do good.
In other words: Those chemically boosted foods are none the better than if you ate an apple with a drip of sauce made of sulfuric acid.
