Obesity is strongly, causally linked to poverty. Lower-income families have a hard time affording anything but fast food. Another problem suffered by many in poverty is that there may be few to any choices for healthy food and fresh produce near where they live. This is known as a food desert. Not many people are talking about it, but we cannot have a serious debate about obesity in America without talking about poverty in America. Or put another way, if you address the poverty issue, youre also addressing the obesity issue (not to mention education, life expectancy, crime, illiteracy, having a great work force, etc.)
