Poverty isn’t the only cause of obesity. There have been countless marketing campaigns for sugar, and for those of us who are used to “normal” levels notice it right away; As a European who have spent a lot of time in the US, I find US bread basically inedible.
They aren’t entirely wrong. Grocery stores often have a bread aisle with loaves that probably fit that description. Many grocery stores also have a bakery department that has bread baked in house. I looked at their nutritional facts online and my local grocery chain says there is no added sugars in their sourdough. I know a couple of local bakeries near me as well. Not all of our bread is wonder bread.
So basically like you just said all kids in the country are poor?
… are all kids in the country obese? No. Are all obese kids poor? No.

Are all kids obese?
16% of children are below the poverty line. But even someone just above the poverty line might not be able to afford healthy food.
19.7% of children are obese.
These numbers are awfully close, don’t you think?
