Comment on Want to lose weight? Poverty can help!

Yeah, no.

First: eating strictly healthy is more expensive than eating trash.

Second: Time. Poor people tend to have less of it available, which means that it’s harder to cook meals at home (which, in theory, should be cheaper to eat healthy). That same lake of time also makes exercise challenging.

Until you get to the point of poverty where you’re risking starvation, poor people are more likely to be overweight than people that are in better circumstances.
