The Hunger and Obesity Paradox. For many households, the lack of money can contribute to both hunger and obesity. This apparent paradox is driven in part by the economics of buying food.
Stretching Food Dollars: Research indicates that the quality or variety of food consumed is often compromised before the quantity of food eaten.
Food Availability: Lower income neighborhoods lack access to healthier foods. The five zip codes in Dallas County with the lowest disposable income also had the least number of major chain grocery stores.
Overeating: Recent research has shown that food deprivation in humans and
food restriction in children produces a tendency toward binge eating behaviors.
Physiological changes: can occur in the body as a result of periods of hunger
and consumption of foods low in nutritional value.
Less Opportunities for Physical Activity: Low income neighborhoods have few safe or attractive
places to play. Open space—parks, sidewalks, gardens and fields are at a minimum and recreational
facilities are inadequate.
