Hey, I did my part. I'm technically classified as overweight now.
The income gap is pretty telling because it helps highlight that our crop subsides are killing the US population. Increased carb and sugar intake because most food items people can afford are chock full of wheat and corn, while fresh fruits and veggies cost significantly more per serving. If you're weighing your options on what to get to feed a family, of course you'll reach for the box of mac & cheese (or two) instead of making a balanced meal made mostly of vegetables.
Our food system is fucked and the economic system is working against us. No wonder people are still getting larger despite the best efforts of Michelle Obama.
