See, I think your arguments falls apart when you see Mexico and Eastern european nations having lower obesity rates than here, despite the fact that the average mexican or eastern european is poorer than the average african american. Rural areas of greece and italy are also pretty poor, and extremely healthy.

I'm in the DC area now and I walk more a day than I did maybe a month growing up in Louisiana.

There are plenty of other cultural issues. I agree with you, poor isn't the only factor.
