One of the amazing things about the US is that poorest 15% of the population (by gross household income) is also the FATTEST segment of the population.

In developing countries where the poorest 15% are truly living a bare existence lifestyle (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh) you would never see a poor obese person.

Of the 0.2% of the population that is homeless, few are fat. Their level of poverty is closer to the poverty in developing countries.
