Thats a good point.

Obesity rates almost double going from high-income families, to low income families.

Often because junk food costs a lot less than going to the local market and buying fruit.

Still no excuse though....families with a low-income get food stamps, and checks from the government that allow them to spend more money on food. Instead of using that money to buy health, nutritious food, they instead spend it on junk food.
