[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have an obesity epidemic, especially among lower income.  There isn’t food scarcity, there is food over abundance. [/quote]

Healthy food is expensive.  Unhealthy, preservative-laden foods are cheaper.  Plus poor people often lack access to good grocery stores, along with often suffering from stress, lack of sleep, lack of access to healthcare and many other issues that contribute to poor health which can also lead to obesity.

Basic heathy food is not expensive, nor is it elusive. Next excuse?

The only way to become obese is to consume an excess of calories, continuously, over a long period of time. Hard to buy the narrative we have so many starving people that are 50+ lbs overweight  [/quote]

Your privilege is showing.  You've apparently never heard of food deserts, where there are no farms or farmers markets, where there are no regular grocery stores or supermarkets, only convenience type stores which don't sell fresh chicken or fresh vegetables, and where the only way to get them is to have a var or to have to pay for mass transit and lug your groceries around, possibly for miles.[/quote]
