When you see a fat person, you may also be looking at poverty. Some of the most poorest people eat whatever they can afford. Twinkies, chips, spam and convenience store foods; some foods have no food in them at all. Velveeta cheese use to be cheese, now it is just chemicals. You can cut a slice and it burns like plastic. I believe what we are seeing is an agenda to dumb down and fatten up America on cheap processed foods; more money for the wealthy and doctors.  This is bullshit copium. I'm reposting this comment I made in another thread:  "If you're poor and fat, the issue isn't money. It's how much you're shoving into your face. I worked at a discount food store for years. Do you know what families buy on the first of the month? Those food stamps cover every Little Debbie snack cake, packs of chewing gum, soda pop, you name it. But they always have cash to buy a few cartons of cigarettes. Don't let people trick you into thinking that poor people can't buy healthy food. Chicken, broccoli, and rice is cheap as shit. You can make lentil soup last for days. These fat fucks don't want lentil soup. They want Ho-Hos."  Don't make excuses for them. You can eat less food, lose weight, AND save money. That's two birds with one broccoli.
