Guatemala (arbitrary choice) spent 35% of their income on food in 2016, but 66% were overweight or obese.
I don't know what's causing obesity, but it doesn't seem to be income, given everyone worldwide exploded into fatness around 1980.
And I'm not satisfied with flimsy hypotheses, such as a historically unprecedented worldwide diminution in human "willpower."
