I stopped reading at the first line:   "It's not a coincidence that some of the poorest and most obese states in the country tend to lean Republican".   Some obese idiot, who probably has a degree in cheese fries, is going to actually attempt to make such a claim and of course will have all the convincing arguments and data to support that.. in one piss-worthy article of some shitty gossip website. OP, you want me to make casual correlations? I noticed that those fat acceptance nut cases are all into liberal, SJW, p.c. bullshit. You know the stuff that is currently ruining Europe. When politics are discussed they are all for the left, which is also not surprising, is it?
