So how do we stop it?

One thing we can do is change the price of food in supermarkets and what not.

One dollar buys you a McDouble, that comes with 2 patties, onion, cheese, ketchup, pickle, and bun.

What, at the supermarket, is comparable in calorie count/nutritional value, that you can purchase for one dollar?
We're kinda broke here in the US, we're feeling the pinch of being broke, and after 10 years of being pretty damn poor we've developed bad eating habits because thats all we could afford for a loooong time and its all most of us can still afford.

At the grocery story, a dollar buys you a bell pepper. Suppose you're really hungry, are you gonna want that mcdouble that comes with all kinds of stuff, or just a plain raw bell pepper? Or maybe an apple, also about the same price? If all you're going to eat that day is a dollar of food, you want that dollar of food to stretch and have different ingredients.. You can't even buy a can of campbells chicken noodle soup for under a buck in most places, and that's just a basic staple everyone should have around.

And suppose you do want to eat healthy, you go to mcdonalds and get your mcdouble, but then...you have to travel to the store to get an apple or buy overpriced apple slices from mcdonalds. That travel to the store isn't free, that's gas or bus money, making your trip to get an apple not just a dollar anymore.. its best just to get 2 mcdoubles, or a mcdouble and a mcchicken and throw 'em together and make a mcgangbang, now that's a good way to fight hunger for 2 dollars.

Or you can eat 2 apples, which will leave you feeling hungry in an hour. See? It's too expensive to eat healthy..

Fuck it, let's just replace all super markets and restaurants with McDonalds.
And let's make sure there is a McDoanlds inside every school in the US. You know what, scratch that. Let's just make schools really big McDonalds that teach kids how to eat burgers, while feeding them McDonalds.

Everybody has jobs at McDonalds, everybody eats McDonalds, Hunger is at an all time low and employment rates are at an all-time high.

There's also ready-made meals that cost around 1-2$, like cans of baked beans, chili, etc. etc.

Proof again that poor people are fat because they're stupid and have no organization, not because McDonald's is evil.

yes mc'd's is evil have you seen the food its not good

Funny, because I have seen (and known) numerous overweight people of Indian descent who find it really hard to keep their weight down. Asia is a big place. It doesn't just mean the far east.

Yes, poor people as a group are stupider than rich people, for obvious reasons.

overweight =/= unhealthy.
similarly, optimal weight =/= healthy.

i would be more concerned about the average time spent on exercise. you should be cardiovascularly fit if you have enough exercise. (say 30 minutes a day, as recommended by some organizations), no matter whether you are fat or not.

obesity does not mean a higher chance of heart attack.
see: http://healthland.time.com/2012/09/05/can-you-be-fat-and-fit-or-thin-and-unhealthy/

in my opinion, the only real danger of obesity is more stress on your joints during exercise or normal activities.


I am just a random user from a set of measure zero and thus am negligible. Or to put it another way, a worthless piece of shit.

There is a difference between being well-educated and being intelligent.
Rich people tend to receive good educations, but that does not mean they are smarter, they simply had a better education than a poorer person.

The poorer also tend to live in rough neighborhoods. With gangs, drugs, etc. So they're more likely to drop out and join a gang and/or deal drugs. The wealthy, however, do not face this in their neighborhoods.

Wealth=/=Intellect

True, you can be both obese and healthy, but most obese people are unhealthy.

They are not only less educated, they are stupider, by all measures.

http://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2008/02/06/correlations-of-iq-with-income-and-wealth/

It's not hard to understand why: If you're smart you will generally do well in school ( and life in general ) and get a better-paying job than if you're an idiot.

There's many traits associated with being a moron that don't help obesity: Low self-control, inability to do research, lack of foresight, lack of perseverance etc.

Furthermore, having money only offers a small advantage in losing weight. 99% of losing weight is controlling what you eat, not having a personal training or fancy expensive healthy food.

Yes because all I see is some old couples and other "stupid" poor families trying to figure out what to buy at the grocery store,looking down the aisle figuring out to get this but then we need this box of rice or I can get this pack of chicken breast.

Describing the average of a group is not generalizing the qualities of that group onto every individual.
Behold: The average American male is 5'9 and the average female is like 5'4. That doesn't mean there's no women taller than men.

This argument is going nowhere with you with this fixation of poor people being stupid when in fact allot are not, and 2hos to say rich people aren't stupid I know allot are too.
