Southern California's cornucopia of grocery stores stocking organic grown fruits and vegetables helps me keep my BMI to 25; even the Starbucks sells bananas for me to grab on the run. It's a California thing I suppose.
But we have our share of the obese. You can see them in any Wal-Mart. I think I read somewhere that if you are poor and don't eat as often it is as counter productive as going on a diet: your body begins stockpiling fat in preparation for "lean times" (pun intended).
Any truth to that?
