I'd argue that the effect is actually quite large - the difference is about 8% absolute between most and least disadvantaged - particularly considering that this is only partially corrected for age. You also see greater effects when you split out other SES factors like rurality
Also worth noting that this category lumps in overweight and obesity, which can be deceptive. The wealthiest people tend to be overweight by BMI (25-30), but if you look just at obesity (>30), the effect of SES becomes much more stark
8% is not large considering that obesity/overweight has increased from about 30% at 1900 to nearly 80% today. The overwhelming factor in determining this shift is not class-related.
Oh I'm not saying that the overwhelming factor is SES, just that the effects are exacerbated significantly by disadvantage
There are certain food writers who would argue rather patronisingly that we need to educate 'them' to cook more healthily, missing the point that it's rarely ignorance of basic nutrition that is the issue. Access to healthy food, healthy lifestyle etc are much more of a problem.
Indeed. Education, in and of itself, is almost universally totally ineffective. Teaching people the 'right' way to do things without changing the lived environment is usually a waste of time
And the kind of sanctimonious bitches who advocate it from their ivory towers can do one
food deserts dont cause obesity--thats been shown by research--and people have a horrible understanding of nutrition which is one of the reasons faddism is so prominent. ive lived on 6k per year and know a thing about poverty and if you curse at me again i will block you.
Mmmm but "access" doesn't necessarily mean "availability". Some interesting work by my PhD supervisors on things like the ratio of fast-food options to healthy food and similar issues i.e. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1353829217303301 …
We can agree that garbage food is abundantly available almost everywhere. Maybe a higher ratio in bad neighborhoods. I haven't read that paper, but it says "associated". Well, is the association causal? If you want me to read, I can.
Nah just for your own interest. It's obviously pretty difficult to determine causality, but I think there's a good argument that it is
