My first read was similar to another reply, that a phrasing "anyone who owns a car" is pretty much a "let them eat cake" moment. But ignoring that for a moment.

It's funny that cars are implicit in your comment. I have always felt that car culture itself contributes to obesity in a big way. I've never been low-income, but I myself was obese for much of the current decade, until I drastically reduced my car usage a few years ago.
So I think for some people you have a bunch of factors re-enforcing each other: low income / multiple jobs, stress, car culture, but importantly, if you have that last one as a hard requirement, you get additional stress and increased income requirements from needing that car. i.e. Imagine a situation where you need extra hours at work or another job to pay for the car to drive to get your food, and you need extra time and stress for all of this.
