Why are much of the poor in The United States fat?
Because to eat healthy takes more money and time. The poor tend to eat more processed foods. Organic foods cost a lot more. Uncared bacon for example costs more than processed bacon that has been filled with nitrates. Organic fruits and vegetables cost more than non organic. It is cheaper to buy highly processed mac and cheese than buy the organic macaroni and organic cheeses.
Buying Coke and Mountain Dew is cheaper than buying real fruit juice.
There's also the fact that fewer and fewer people know how to do things like cooking for themselves. They need pre-made food.
