I think there's probably more it it than that.
When we grew up (rural England in the early 70s) we had what would now be called a highly nutrious diet - we grew all our own "organic" vegetables (we got cow shit for free, pesticides cost money) and had chickens (fresh eggs daily). Ended up only buying meat and milk...
So did my cousins next door.
They were certainly richer than us - it seemed a lot, but it probably wasn't...
Only my sister and I went to university (the only people to have done in any generation), they took low level white collar jobs (bank teller/hairdresser)
Nature certainly has a hand in it, but I think its more likely nurture that has the bigger hand.
