Often, it’s flat out said that poor people need to be policed into eating healthy. And by healthy, you mean whatever the various corporate food lobbies have forced congress to accept as science. This then goes into huge fatphobia issues, the idea that fat will magically go away if people just eat the right things, and that it is somehow morally abhorrent to dare to be fat in public, all of which require their own discussions. But basically, the idea is that rich people have the right to “choose to be fat”, but poor people do not.
