thats what was killing me!!  look, we all know money makes everything in life EASIER. no one is gonna seriously disagree with that. but this person needs to understand that poverty does not make you fat. it makes you starve. her argument is summed up as "i wanna eat food that i like so fuck off" so what can you do? its like arguing with a wall.    here in america... its very hard to starve. food stamps give you more than enough to eat very healthy if you know how to shop. so unless you are an abandoned child or felon (they cant get foodstamps, i think.. gotta check that) you have no excuse not to eat healthy in america.
