Many people are obese despite not living in poverty (including myself, unfortunately).
- mschuster91 3y agoAgreed, but tackling the poverty/food access issue is a pareto issue IMHO - get the wide masses out of poverty and provide equal access to healthy food supplies will get rid of a large chunk of the issue.
- boohoowangle 3y agoI agree. Reports from Pew Research Center and CDC show that the cause for obesity is complex and cannot be pinpointed to just poverty. The studies are a decade old, but are still prevalent. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2013/11/13/obesity-and-poverty-dont-always-go-together/ https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2013/11/13/obesity-a... https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/66/wr/mm6650a1.htm https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/66/wr/mm6650a1.htm
