Not to mention there's a valid point to be made but linking to heritage.org 'research' undermines your validity right off the bat.

The original data is mostly government statistics and the original sources are all cited. Are you asserting that heritage lied about the contents of the reports they cite?

Or are you simply saying "people I don't like wrote the report, therefore it must be invalid"?

I'm saying obesity among America's poor is a real problem and there are studies that support that claim that come from somewhere other than a conservative think tank dedicated to keeping the rich rich and keeping the government from helping the poor.

The review article I linked to did indeed cite several studies of the type you are asking for.
