I wish the article delivered more beef.
Some of the questions--like what does poverty mean when the poor are obese--strike me as quixotic, as if poor people can't be obese. Eat enough cheap calories and don't get enough exercise, you will become obese, no matter how much money you have in the bank.
From the quotes, it's really hard to figure out what they're saying. Probably the reporter's fault.

I agree, the article doesn't tell you much. My purpose in linking to the article was neither to praise nor criticize this effort, merely to note it, in case there are folks here who would like to delve.
