[quote=SD Realtor] . . . I would be willing to bet (and I have no data to back this up) that the obesity and eating habits of the middle class and above are much worse then the poor.
Just a guess. . . [/quote]
In visiting those “dust bowl” areas 1-2x year I can tell you that some of these rural areas are still “food deserts.” There IS produce in the supermarkets there but it is not always fresh and there is not a wide variety of it like we here in Cali are used to.
I would disagree with you that the eating habits of the middle class are much worse than the poor. A HUGE percentage of the “poor” or “very low-income” population in these areas are quite obese, much more so than the “middle class,” who have better kitchens to cook in, are better-educated and have to buy food with real cash.
