Holy crap, poor people are fatter than other people? SAY IT AINT SO!


P.S. The abstract in your second link says the opposite of what you are saying. So does the third source, which says:


Link Elkad didn't actually read posted:

Because food stamps are designed to serve as a first-line defense against hunger, it would be ironic if food stamps were connected to America’s obesity problem. Though such a connection appeared to exist in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it does not appear to hold today.

I didn't read all of it either.

But what I skimmed in the 2nd one said 6% increased chance of obesity in women.
