As an amateur flabologist, I think there are probably many factors that lead to this aspect of rich/poor fattitude.
Cheap food is now the most fattening. The amount of sustained physical exertion required in the workforce is generally lower than it has ever been in history. The rich have more disposable time to exercise, while the cheapest and quickest recreation available is passive screen entertainment. This is all combined with the rise of the welfare state. It really is like some sci-fi dystopia from the 40s or something.

I think it’s a bio-terrorism attack.
