#1 "Poor people are obese because they eat poorly"

A statement the "artist" no doubt finds horribly offensive.

Whudda pity it happens to be true. Yes, it does cost a bit more to eat healthy. But not a whole lot more, and, frankly, dropping things like soda and sweets from your diet will save you money. The most expensive things I buy are the specifically diet foods; fresh fruits and vegetables are more expensive than junk food, but their food value is extremely high.

#2 "Poor people are obese because they eat poorly" . It's their own decision. It costs more to eat the fat-filled, pre-packaged, pre-cooked stuff than it does to buy fresh or frozen stuff and prepare it yourself. If poor people are fat it's because of genetics or lazyness.

Yup. They're damn proud of the 101st Airborn in Clarksville.

#6 That's crap want to know why people are fat because they will not exercise. I am fat and my doctor told me he didn't care what I ate as long as I walked and exercise everyday to burn the calories that I consumed.

#7 And that is djohn66's revelation.
No kidding, am not being flippant, it IS the truth.

BTW, consuming fats does not make you fat (I "drink" olive oil by quarts), it's the excess of carbs and sugars.
