Food abundance is good, but it is not the answer to this question. For example, in America today the richest locations tend to be the most physically fit.

That's kind of the point. Poor people today have no problem obtaining and consuming enormous quantities of food, and jave high obesity rates as a result. Unlike prior eras, being rich doesn't provide an advantage when it comes to accessing food (as opposed to housing, leisure time, luxury items, etc)
