I saw food inc. the other day. one interesting point made in the documentary was that income levels effect obesity. people with less income are not able to by the most nutritious food and settle for foods "rich" in hydrogenated corn syrup. foods made with hydrogenated corn syrup are often less expensive because corn has been subsidized, is cheap, and can be stored for a verrrry long time.
