Songbird and Billy are correct. The poor do eat poorly.

However, Corn, Wheat, Soybeans and Rice are subsidized foods.
These subsidized foods make processed foods very cheap. Fresh fruits and
vegetables are not subsidized are cost much more per calorie than: Corn
Chips, Sandwiches and Cereals. Also many poor communities do not have a
super markets near them (I am talking poor in the United States). Super
Markets want a nice profit margin when they build stores. Poor
communities also do not have good public transportation to get to those
nice markets. The poor communities tend to have small party stores which
sells only canned or packaged goods which the poor can mostly afford.

Distribution of wealth can help the poor eat better.

Also over population of the planet also contributes to poverty and not
as eating as well due to limited resources of the planet.
