Do you think if food prices went way up people would be thinner?

When I diet my grocery bill goes down. I eat healthier foods, some of which cost more, but overall I am eating so much less food my overall expenditures are lower.

Let’s confine this discussion to the middle class. The middle class can readily afford fresh foods and there is availability where they live.

I don’t mind a point being raised about how it will affect the poor, but I am most curious about the middle class who have an abundance and variety of food around them that they can afford.
