    What’s crazy is that when I was a kid, the poor were generally healthier. Diets for poor people included a lot of beans and rice, and not much else, and rich people’s diets consisted of richer foods, with sauces, butter, etc… Poor people often worked labor intensive jobs which kept them fit, while rich people sat at desks and then lazed by the pool after work. Now poor people tend to eat fast food quite a bit more often than people with more money, and the upper class are generally more likely to engage in fitness routines.
