Fresh veggies are not ‘quite inexpensive’. To maximize calories and minimize cost, you would do well to only buy heavily processed, fattening foods. If you have children, you can easily work two jobs and still be living under the poverty line. So, I don’t think the lazy theory holds water.

Could it be that they’re fat because they’re also lazy. I’m not being horrible, I’d like to see if evidence for this correlates with them as well as the evidence for being fat. If it does, the reason could simply be that they can’t be bothered to cook well. Solution? Healthy (and cheap) ready meals.

Yep, sugar, more and more refined, is a bad thing.

Real food is more expensive than “fake food” (you know, that stuff that we eat that really doesn’t even deserve to be called “food”). The advent of big business and government interference (primarily) have created a situation where, for the most part, the cheapest food is nutritionally the emptiest, and you can’t afford really *good* food (nutritionally speaking) unless you have plenty of money. It used to be the other way around – the nutritionally empty refined stuff was “luxury” foods, while the poor largely ate off the land.

Poor people are fat because junk food is a very inexpensive form of entertainment!

I DONT THINK THAT IT IS RIGHT TO HAVE HOLE BUNCH OF FOOD AND NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT THE POOR.
I THINK THAT IT IS SELFISH AND YOU DESERVE TO GET FAT
