Does wealth have a corelation of what you eat and how well you eat?

                 We live in a world that is just not quite all the way developed yet.  When you look around the globe, you see countries that are impoverished, people that are malnourished.  But as you move towards the more developed countries you see people that are living lavishly with an abundance of food.  So why is it that the people in less developed countries are starving but those living in more developed countries have access to what seems like an unlimited amount of food? Maybe because in LDCs the land is not fertile for the growth of crops.  But yet America, still imports crops from other less developed countries.  Maybe the MDCs are exploiting the LDC's food supply.  If that was the case then why do we see the really well off individuals living in the less developed countries still have access to food, food that not even regular citizens could have hands on.  Although I think all of those factors play a big role in answering why do we (people living in the MDCs) eat well and are more nourished.    I think that wealth is one of the biggest factors in determining what an individual eats and how well they eat. 

          I'm sure most of you have been to a fancy restaurant in your life time.  I'm not talking about just fancy but fine dining, the place where a 6 oz lobster will cost you anywhere from 30 to 40 dollars.  The same size steak will cost you the same. I know that I wouldn't be able to afford a meal that is around that much and I won't pay that much for a meal.  Most of those restaurants are located in big cities, because simply there are more wealthier people living there that are willing to pay that much for a meal.  More upscale and high quality food tends to cost more and not everyone can afford those types of food.  Those types of food are also healthier and a better choice, but most people can’t afford them.  That’s why sometimes the individuals that cannot afford them chose other types of low cost food that are unhealthy and processed.  That’s a big problem in more developed countries as well as less develop countries.  However in LDCs, people who cannot even afford food, the daily essential for life, are usually malnourished.  That is the main difference between a citizen in an MDC and a citizen in a LDC.

          Whether it’s in a MDC or a LDC, wealthier people tend to eat better and have more varieties to choose from.  More or so they tend to eat better and healthier, impacting diet.
