If they can’t afford fast food, they aren’t going to nicer restaurants. They must be getting food (anybody want to argue that not eating makes one obese?) from somewhere. Presumably they must then be going to grocery stores. Do these stores not sell healthy food? I mean I can call them tomorrow and ask about their produce section but it seems very unlikely they don’t have one or sell out immediately every morning. Plenty of poor people manage to not be obese. Plenty of rich people are obese (for the third time, to check out an affluent card show and see those gigantic waist lines). It’s almost like people control how much they stuff down. If people did not have access to food they would be dangerously thin.

A lot of people don't live near a grocery store.
