Because poor people eat more pork.

By contrast, the researchers found inconsistent racial and ethnic risk disparities in some —though not all — socioeconomic strata. Non-Hispanic blacks and Mexican Americans born in the U.S., for example had higher risk, but Mexican Americans born in Mexico had lower risk.
This surprising finding could be explained by selection pressures in migration, according to Karlamangla. It could also be explained by early diet and activity. I suspect poor Mexican kids are not as fat as poor American kids and probably are more active.

Now if only someone would do a study on what causes you to be in a certain socioeconomic status...

At 58, I’m alive today (avoiding death by prostate cancer) in part because of intelligence and motivation. Yes, unequal outcomes apply here also.

"Only the healthy are able to migrate here, and the unhealthy go back for their care," he said. LOL! This one sentence prompts me to think the entire article is bunk.
