The Hidden Link Between Income & Obesity

What if obesity is about more than just personal choices? In this episode of Kate & Isaiah Living Large, we dive into the hidden connection between income and obesity after reading a recent article exploring how obesity rates continue to vary across different income levels. We discuss why healthier choices aren't always the easiest or most affordable ones and how factors like the cost of food, access to recreation, education, and everyday stress can all play a role. We also explore another major influence that often gets overlooked—advertising. From fast food commercials and social media marketing to oversized portions and constant food promotions, we talk about how the messages we're surrounded by every day can shape our eating habits without us even realizing it. As always, we're not experts—we're sharing our experiences, thoughts, and perspectives as two people living with obesity while trying to make healthier choices. Join the conversation and let us know: Do you think income and advertising have a bigger impact on obesity than most people realize? 👍 If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who'd enjoy the discussion. #Obesity #WeightLoss #HealthPodcast #LivingLargePodcast #HealthyLiving #Nutrition #FoodMarketing #IncomeInequality #Lifestyle #Podcast Article https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-06-obesity-figures-highlight-income.html Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/KnIlivinglarge Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1000890549876065
