I think that while poverty is obviously not the SOLE cause of obesity, it is a contributing factor in our society where the cheapest foods are crap, and we have communities of people who are being raised on it and don't really know any different. Lack of education also goes along with poverty (frequently).

And I agree with you as well! Very few people I know actually fix things from scratch...they buy processed foods, go to restaurants, etc. They aren't lazy. And I truly resent the poster who said people who are fat are lazy. What a broad generalization. I'm overweight and I'm not lazy. I cook from scratch and fresh fruits and vegetables are a big part of my diet. And they are far more expensive than the cheap carbs.
