All of the Following Factors Are Theorized to Contribute to the Poverty-Obesity

All of the following factors are theorized to contribute to the poverty-obesity paradox EXCEPT

A) the increased tendency of low-income people to purchase inexpensive, energy-dense foods that have a longer shelf life.
B) the increased tendency of low-income people to spend too much money on relatively expensive sources of protein, such as meats, poultry, and fish.
C) the increased tendency of low-income people to live in regions that are not served by markets selling fresh, affordable food.
D) the increased level of stress experienced by low-income people, which results in the frequent release of hormones that slow metabolism and increase appetite, and may deplete their ability to make thoughtful choices about foods.
