Agree with basil. Class and culture are big factors. Not all poverty looks the same and usually it's culture (or lack thereof) rather than the lack of money that leads people to bad decisions.
In London I noticed that a lot of poor immigrants kept the healthy eating habits of their home countries (from observing them shopping at markets), while the more established underclass subsisted off junk food. Both groups probably have similar income and education levels, but culture makes a difference.
