"Get decent food into poor neighborhoods."
We tried that Bill, they threw it all away. Poor people prefer 15 tacos from jack in the box over a bowl and oatmeal with a side of carrots and celery.
You can eat better and eat less. Poor people just prefer to eat more and eat worse.

I can spot a food stamp reciepient almost immediately when I go shopping.Their carts are almost always filled to the top with junk food including multiple frozen pizzas and chips along with the obligatory orange or fruit soda and there's plenty of healthy options a couple of aisles away.

Exactly, was in the grocery last week behind a Hispanic women and her daughter. Cart had at least (6) two liter cokes, Kool aid, little debbies, chips, and some other processed crap. Mother was at least 50lbs over weight and the daughter (probably 12) was not far behind.
That is definitely why some countries are doing much better. Most Scandinavian countries and Asians have far less obesity within the populations.

Every grocery store I've ever been in has a section dedicated to fruits and vegetables and meats. I've never understood this bullshite line of thinking. Poor people are eating shitty food because they want to, not because they don't have access to healthy food.

I know a person that makes six-figures who prefers 15 tacos from JIB vs. a bowl of oatmeal.
Obesity transcends income demographics.
We as a nation are too lazy, too busy, or just don't know how to plan a monthly meal plan, shop for the ingredients, and prepare home-cooked B, L, & D everyday.
That knowledge or drive went away when it began to take both parents working to make ends meet and schools taking home ec off the curricular.
