Regular grocery stores vs. "gourmet" grocery stores I go to a store called Central Market--it's like Whole Foods but a little less pretentious--and there are always normal, fit people in there. Today I went to an HEB which I guess is like Safeway or Randall's. Not much different from a Walmart grocery, actually. Holy fuck, I've never seen so much obesity in my life. Everyone in the store was overweight without exception. Some were grossly obese. One was actually about five feet wide (no exaggeration) and was pushing around a cart full of whatever (obviously this lard-monster used no discretion in choosing foods). What is it about the lower-class stores that makes so many fats go there? Mind you, I know that poverty is not the cause of obesity--no one in Africa is obese. I guess it's the stupidity?
