Over 20% of America's children live in poverty, and the obesity rate among children is exceptionally high because almost half of the population is living in poverty or just above the poverty line. Farm subsidies for fruit and vegetable growers are less than one third of one percent, driving the cost of real, healthful foods into the stratosphere! High-fat, high-calorie, very low-nutrition foods are the only ones that many Americans can afford. American children are not overweight because they are overeating, they are overweight because they are eating processed, toxic substitutes for real (sadly unaffordable!) food!!!
