Low-Income Women Living In Small Cities Have Higher Chance Of Obesity

So much for low access to food stores as a cause of fatosity.
A recent Kansas State University study found that the availability of supermarkets -- rather than the lack of them -- increased the risk of obesity for low-income women living in small cities. This suggests that policies to increase healthful eating behaviors might need to be tailored based on geographic location.

K-State researchers studied the availability of food stores for low-income women in Kansas to see whether there was a link to obesity. The findings showed that limited availability of grocery stores did not contribute to an increased risk of obesity in metropolitan or rural areas, but it was associated with an increased risk of obesity in micropolitan areas in Kansas, defined as cities with fewer than 40,000 people.
Still think they have any idea what is going on?

BTW, "improving access to healthy foods" is what the First Cow calls "a major barrier to healthy eating."

Michellesie "The Cow" Obama is an idiot. A fat idiot, to boot. (see images below)

Just consume fewer Calories than you burn if you want to lose weight.

That is all it takes.

Nothing more, nothing less.

And you can do it anywhere; population size is irrelevant.

Role modelette, Michellesie "The First Fatty" Obama:
