Is family income related to overweight? And how so?!


Question: In my experiences, a low-income family usually has to buy the less expensive grocery items. These item are frequently high in fat and calories and low in nutrition, which can create health problems such as obesity and high blood pressure.

Recent work from Cornell University and the University of California at Davis suggest that obesity among poor women may be linked to their habit of periodically going without food so that their children can eat.

Low income families also often do not have access to farmers
