Obesity in America: Disease of the Rich?

It has been said that obesity is the result of the affluent society that is the American lifestyle. Yet, if we examine the victims of obesity in America, it is easy to observe that those that live the “lifestyle of the rich and famous” rarely fit the category of “obese” More often the less affluent members of society are afflicted with this disease.

What influences this tendency for the less fortunate to fall victim to the obesity epidemic and the related health problems that go hand-in-hand with being overweight and obese?

How are you influenced in your every day life by some of these same challenges?
