Can definitely confirm.  I grew up with upper middle class parents making close to 200k every year. My mother is a medical professional so she obviously knew how to raise her fucking kids right. Or atleast she knew how to raise ME. she used to give us really shitty packaged food for our meals and snacks because she was always too lazy to wake up (she drank a lot). Pizza rolls, Oreos, Soda and so on. Anyways. Because I was the youngest child I had no oppertubity to really get fat because of my metabolism and I never really ate that much. (I was like 8) but my sisters were teenagers and were both overweight by high school. Cut to 2012, 5th grade. Mom goes to rehab and makes healthier food. She works her fat off and now looks astonishingly better than before. She still has a lot of loose skin though, but she still looks better. Both my sisters are hams. Not quite huge but packing it on. My oldest sister recently changed her instagram to a fitness page, which always makes me cringe whenever I look at it. I think my mom is grateful I haven't turned out fat like my sisters. I'm the skinniest person in my family right now. It's really all about upbringing. We eat fresh meals every day (and frequently shop at Costco to get that shit) which is usually just dinner. I only eat fruit and occasionally bread for lunch because those school lunches are just so high in calories. (Seriously, 600 calories for a shitty burger?) and then good meaty dinner, steak, chicken, or fish. Pretty sure my parents are just glad I didn't turn out like my sisters. Yikes Sorry this is so long I just wanted to get this out in the open about how important it is to take the extra few minutes to make healthy food. It's like brushing your teeth. Sure you might not feel like it but the rewards are substantially better than not doing it.
