Hogwash. Heck, Oprah got some of her wealth FROM being overweight - all thosetv shows about her many, many diets. And now, she's a 10% owner of weight watchers.
Wanna see jowls? Have a look at a recent photos of Warren Buffet or Rupert Murdoch (though at their age. . .) El Chapo Guzman isn't exactly svelte.
Most rich people I'd think would be fat, since they can eat what they want. The exception would be women who marry rich men, since they seem to go for models. The girls need to keep weight off to catch the man and keep being a trophy wife.
Having said that, being fat does not mean you eat garbage. You can be POOR and fat from trans fats and cortisol from stress. You can also be rich and fat from eating a lot of yummy food. That may be healthy, high quality and organic food. Of course many wealthy people are also fit because they have leisure to do sports, but some are fat.

Organic is more expensive obviously so the logic is that people with money are more likely to eat organic because, well, they can afford it. The rest of us, we have to be more selective as to what we buy organic.
Is this true? What do you think?
I think organic eaters, like vegetarians and vegans have more to do with personal beliefs than wealth. Of course people on strict food budgets can not afford organic but I don't think the average upper class or upper middle class person eats much differently than others except they can afford to eat what they want when they want.
I think the wealthy eat more organic just because it's easy for them to make that choice. They have the access, the disposable income and often the education to make that choice.
When cooking at home, I buy organic as much as possible when it comes to things like the high-pesticide fruits/vegetables labeled "the dirty dozen" and stick to organic chicken or bison whenever possible. I grow my own food in the summers as much as possible. I buy local organic if I can. My choices are basically concerned with the environment, my health and the animals I'm eating.
I have worked in the US Food Industry for 10 years. And I am directly aware on how polluted the food is, Organic
food is simply a way for people to try to avoid the contaminated food and keep themselves healthy.
It is not a coincidence that many of the Organic Consumers are also wealthy. It is simply a matter of education.
There is huge differences between organic and non organic, and people end up paying for their ignorance in blood.

paying in blood? that's a bit dramatic. what is this huge difference?
i have grown organic produce. a pepper from my yard doesn't taste better than the non-organic one from the farm stand down the road.
I find a lot of wealthy people do buy and eat organic. I also notice a lot of wealthy people aren't in the best of shape. Having money doesn't equate to being healthy.
Personally, I buy and eat organic only for taste; there's no difference in nutritional value between the non organic.

I buy less food now that it is mainly just my husband and myself. Now I gravitate to organic. Yesterday at Wegman's the regular three peppers in a pack were $3.99 for the regular and $5.99 for the organic. There was a huge difference in the quality of the peppers--so I bought the organic ones. The organic radishes were a heck of a lot better looking than the regular. At this point in my life I can afford to be pickier. I go for quality.

Funny I heard someone say this exact thing in support of the anti-vaccine movement.
