[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Peer pressure to stay thin, or at least healthy looking. Very few obese women (although they exist, of course). And by peer-pressure, I mean both women and men expect you to look a certain way, even if they won't say anything to your face.

What helps? For one, most wealthy people live in safe, unpolluted neighborhoods where they can walk, bike, jog, etc., for exercise. Many own dogs that need to be taken out. Many own exercise equipment like Pelotons that can be used when the weather is bad. Income is sufficient to buy delicious, fresh foods at well-stocked grocery stores and farmers markets. Wealthy neighborhoods are not food deserts. Well-educated so that most meals are healthy and emphasize to their kids the need to consume fresh foods. (I wouldn't say that wealthy people don't get junk food; my kids and their classmates at their private school love Doritos, chips, and soda; but, they are all regularly consume hot, nicely prepared meals, fruits, and vegetables.) Finally, if there are psychologically-linked food issues, wealthy people can afford therapy and/or trainers.[/quote]

You make some good points, but food deserts are kind of a myth.

I do agree about the access to safe & clean areas for exercise.

Actually, if you read that study, it doesn’t deny that food deserts exists, it says that poor people choose junk food over healthy food. Poor people, according to the article, still need to travel farther than rich ones to hey to supermarkets.[/quote]

They don't mention how far wealthy people have to travel though. There is no language of "traveling further" in the article. Maybe it seems implied but there is no data on that.

Perhaps the point is that food deserts being the *cause* of BMI differences, as the previous poster suggests, is the myth. It's more of an education issue.[/quote]
