>Not everyone is rich enough to have the time to exercise For full-time wage earners, there's actually a slightly negative correlation between wages and leisure time - people who earn more money have less free time.

Unemployed and retired people are not significantly more likely to exercise than working people, despite their obviously greater amount of leisure time. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/atus.nr0.htm https://www.bls.gov/news.release/atus.nr0.htm >can't even afford healthy food The richest American households only eat 0.6 more servings of fruit and vegetables per day than the poorest. The overall average intake was 4.76 servings, so this difference in intake is clinically insignificant. Education level was more strongly correlated with fruit and vegetable intake than income, but differences within socioeconomic groups are far more significant than differences between them. https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/87/6/1883/4754427 https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/87/6/1883/4754427 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140673617322535 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S014067361...
