Not really, they're attracted to the convenience more than the cost, you can easily afford a healthy diet for the cost of feeding an obese person. Have you checked a produce isle lately? It's cheap stuff and not much of it is local in the winter months.
The poor being fat is a result of a much higher standard of living in the past, where the poor can afford to be fat now and the rich have access to knowledge and leisure time that they invest in fitness.
