New York times on food desert myth
But even IF it were true that food deserts exist, studies show that PROXIMITY to stores that sell produce DO NOT affect obesity rates .
quote:
Dr. Sturm [lead author of the Rand study] found no relationship between what type of food students said they ate, what they weighed, and the type of food within a mile and a half of their homes. He has also completed a national study of middle school students, with the same result — no consistent relationship between what the students ate and the type of food nearby.
Living close to supermarkets or grocers did not make students thin and living close to fast food outlets did not make them fat.

So what else can explain this besides choice and culture, liberals?

Education and socio-economic background affect obesity.

Can you provide one of these peer-reviewed studies? Not needling you, I just don't have the time to do a lit review this week.

I never said that food deserts were the sole reason for obesity.
I said explicitly that education and culture were a large part of it.

These are basic things that occurred where I grew up.

Mexico is higher on Wikipedia. I agree with you on the food desert bullshite though.
I think the obesity rate comes from lack of knowledge of nutrition for the most part, especially in lower socioeconomic areas. That and just lack of fricks. "I'll eat what I want and like" kind of attitude.
The problem with the liberal mindset is everyone is a victim of everything. Your weight is your responsibility.

Low IQ people make bad choices. This is why they are poor. And it is also why they are fat.

How'd that school lunch reform of Moochelle's work out for lowering obesity?

My Dad's entire family was obese and gross, and I hated being around them in public because it was embarrassing. I saw what they ate (and what they didn't), and decided to do the exact opposite.

This is why I think it's important to post in here. So many people can't even grasp the effects that growing up poor have on you.
Like I said before, I would be punished if I didn't finish my meal, which was almost always high in fats and sugars. These effect you even after you are grown and can make decisions on your own.

It's discipline, dude! The same people that are fat as shite are the same people that are poor are the same people that are illiterate are the same pepole that commit crimes in high numbers.

So how'd it work out buying groceries for yourself and telling your family that you won't eat what theyre cooking because they're fat and gross?
