A diet consisting moslty of corn and rice will do that.
It has been shown (don’t have the citations handy). that poor people tend to be more obese than the more well-to-do.
HOWEVER, that does NOT excuse INVASION of another country!!
We have plenty of poor people here already, and most of them resist the education necessary to liberate them from that.

Arid parts of Africa have truly poor people, and there is nothing obese about them (the concept literally doesn’t exist). Central America is a great climate for agriculture, and the oceans provide plenty (I don’t recall any famine there). OUR poor people are often fat because they don’t have to do anything (literally).
Central Americans with thousands of dollars to send people to the taxpayer sugar-daddies in El Norte are hardly poor.
The famine mode genes turn on and your metabolism slows down for storage. If the mother is in famine mode, the babies will be, too. I was shocked at the condition of their clothes. Newer than many of mine (but I hate shopping).
