re: New OECD study shows that Obesity is based on culture, not affordability of food

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 think you need to compare the food that is available to these areas

These poor areas are still more than likely eating real food. I imagine rural, poor US is lower in obesity than urban, poor US.
