I think you may be a little confused about the difference between causation and correlation. There is a correlation between obesity and poverty, but whether poverty is a cause of obesity or not is far from certain, and it is my stance that it is not a cause at all - and especially not because 'processed foods are cheaper than healthy foods.' Anyone who believes that has not spent nearly enough time in grocery stores, and anyone who believes that poor people are fat primarily because of an inability to afford healthy foods has not spent enough time around poor people.
