Why is it that the most obese people seem to be in the lower income
brackets?

Often because the food they can afford is of poor quality from a nutritional
perspective. Starch and fat are cheap, fresh fruits and vegetables and so
on are not only more expensive but often hard to come by in poor areas.

That is total BS.....
a vegetarian diet is way cheaper that what poor / obese people often
eat.

Even the markets in the poorest neighborhoods in California have an
abundance of reasonably priced produce.
It's pretty simple, take advantage of "in season" items.

The human animal loves salty crunchy fatty foods....
But in the US these days; food is cheap, exercise is expensive.

The energy equation is out of whack.... too much input, not enough
output.

If you frequent Popeye's, McDonald's, KFC, etc ....you're going to be
unhealthy& fat.

For me exercise is work and pain medication is expensive. :-(
