talk about class warfare

Tom Arnold once said in a comedy routine, "America has the fattest poor people in the world." Then continued on about how other countries poor are malnourished etc, etc. Lol

And it's true, because poor people tend to buy what's cheap, which means few fresh fruits and vegetables, and more processed foods from cheap, subsidized grains, which is all carbs, which is stored as fat. Poor people hang out in the middle aisles of the grocery store where things are cheap and rarely peruse the perimeter where things are expensive.

It is not the type of food but the access to food that makes poor people fat. If they had the same staple of food say a real poor person would have, it would be veggies and fruits, meats and fish. BUT we don't force our poor not to have flat screen tvs or give up that new car they have gotten because we don't have poor people in this country.
