Not going to argue the pack a day part of it, but fast food is probably some of the cheapest food you'll get. When that whole "McDonald's assumes you can get by only if you take another job" debacle came out, I did some calculations and it's really hard to get by on other foods. The lowest I tried was a pure Mac and Cheese styled diet and it's within range of a fast food diet.
This seems to be good reasoning behind why some studies claim obesity is tied to poverty in: you can't afford to spend much on food, so you buy cheap, unhealthy food. Such food isn't intended to be eaten 3 times a day every day, so you eat levels above what you should and pack on pounds.
