Folks, it's not all fat Karens. Here's a by-no-means-complete list of things that can give you or your loved ones an extra-hard time with covid: asthma, cancer, cerebral palsy, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, diabetes, emphysema, epilepsy, high blood pressure, kidney disease, motor neurone disease (MND), multiple sclerosis (MS), neurofibromatosis, parkinson's disease, pneumonia, sleep apnea, ...
Then there are the people taking immunosuppressive medications after organ transplants or for conditions such as addison disease, matomyositis, graves disease, hashimoto thyroiditis, pernicious anemia, arthritis, lupus, and others.

Most of the stuff you listed can be avoided by not being fat.
Eating healthy is a privilege not afforded to everybody - the maps of low income communities in the US as well as heightened rates of diabetes and crime are all the same heatmap
It's a food desert because the fat fucks on ebt benefits rob and shop lift the stores into oblivion. For example: https://krogerforum.activeboard.com/t68041871/stores-closing-due-to-theft/
The idea that poverty breeds obesity is the most ludicrous idea ever. I guess we should tell those Save the Children charities how to fix the famines in Africa.
Poverty in childhood is associated with a number of health conditions in adulthood. More than one in seven Canadian children live in poverty — this places Canada 15 out of 17 similar developed countries, and being at the bottom of this list is not where we want to be. Children who live in poverty are more likely to have low birth weights, asthma, type 2 diabetes, poorer oral health and suffer from malnutrition. But also children who grow up in poverty are, as adults, more likely to experience addictions, mental health difficulties, physical disabilities and premature death. Children who experience poverty are also less likely to graduate from high school and more likely to live in poverty as adults.

Edit: there's also a relationship between the nature of our society. If you want to eat you need to either have a safety net, or exploit your labour for cash you can trade for scraps, not giving back what you have or don't have to give to the job.
