I read somewhere a while ago that poor people use to be in better shape because they worked in agriculture and ate a more natural diet of fruits and vegetables since they could not afford meat.
Wealthier folks could afford to eat in restaurants and at home had fat ladened meals prepared for them. The got gout and other diseases.

Now that has changed around 180 degrees. Poor people are eating fast food and get little exercise and the wealth eat better since learning of the health risks of their past habits and they exercise more.
