I said nothing about America as a whole, you made that part up. But for the millions living below the poverty line, having a place to safely store your groceries or a place to prepare/cook them is not at all guaranteed. > you'll probably not be obese because you can't even afford food and you'll be rationing like crazy. This is not how human physiology works at all. Mainly because our bodies won't let us get to that level of starvation voluntarily. We do have cheap shitty food for sale that can bail us out in times of hunger. This perpetuates a cycle of obesity.

As someone that fasts for fun and has been 50+ lbs overweight before, I assure you that's not how it works. You buy cheap shit if you feel like shit. But if you're broke, which I have also been, not eating actually feels better than eating processed garbage. People buying cheap junk are on a feel like shit spiral, but money is not the problem. It would cost less to eat less and feel better, but for now they want to feel poorly.
