Explain how people who have less money are more, rather than less, prone to obesity

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Households with limited funds for monthly groceries tend to buy less of a variety of foods, and the quality of the foods tends to be low in nutrients and high in calories. Individuals living in low-income neighborhoods also tend to have limited access to supermarkets to purchase healthy foods at a reasonable cost. Poorer neighborhoods also tend to be surrounded by convenience stores and fast-food restaurants.
