88. If they can afford to spend so much on food,

I don't really think they're poor. And Americans, regardless of class, now don't exercise at all. They watch TV. Little kids don't play outside; they play video games. That's a difference, too. It's not that they can't find healthy food.

Also: "For one thing, children who took bottles to bed were nearly twice as likely to be overweight or obese, and Latino kids were more likely to do that than black or white kids. The excess calories in the bottles could contribute to obesity, Kimbro surmised."
