This has to do with fatness rather than poverty or whatever. A lack of personal responsibility sounds about right. It's not as if fast food is cheaper than buying a bunch of kale at any grocery store.
Generally fast food
is cheaper-especially so when taken on a caloric level. There is also a problem with access to healthier foods in poor neighborhoods. The questions is are you going to take two buses to the good store- or pick up whatever the local price gouging store has to offer or fast food place has on their dollar menus.
