Are you seriously asserting poverty is not a known vector for stunted childhood development?
Do you realize there are millions of impoverished people in this country who can't afford to eat healthily? You are aware of the effect nutrition has on childhood development right? Do you realize there exist impoverished parts of this country which simply don't have access to fresh healthy food?
There's literally hundreds of ways poverty stunts childhood development...
