That would explain the epidemic of obesity then...

Obesity rates among men in the US is fairly consistent among economic brackets and level of education.

Among women on the other hand there is a correlation. As income level drops obesity rises. As education level drops obesity rises.

folks with class and wealth probably own a vacation home..where they can retreat and fortify ...to avoid the panic filled masses...
