Someone didn’t read the entire link they posted lol. There’s a whole section talking about the unusual link to poverty, starvation, and obesity in the US. Both is happening simultaneously.
“Thus, in many poverty-dense regions, people are in hunger and unable to access affordable healthy food, even when funds avail. The double-edged sword of hunger and poor availability of healthy food is, however, unlikely to be the only reason as to why obesity tracks with poverty.”
I've read the article. I've posted it on this instance before. To my original point there are problems but no one is starving. This is an issue more complex than the stupid meme wants to admit.
It literally says people are starving. Like it literally says that.
