There's probably a correlation between income and education. It takes some know-how to be able to plan your diet effectively on a tight budget. If you're poor, you may not be in circumstances which lead you to know that rice and beans are the way to go.
I think there's also a cultural aspect. I wonder how many poor people are fat outside of North America. The dominant flavors in our society are fat, salt, cheese and sugar. If you're brought up on McDonald's it's torture to eat actual beans. Most people probably don't even know what a decent tomato tastes like.
