Stupid. Cereal, ramen, McDonalds dollar menu are all more money for less food than buying a container of oatmeal, carton of eggs, bag of beans, lentils

Oatmeal - you also need milk and toppings like berries, peanut butter, honey, etc.

Eggs - need salt, pepper, oil or butter to cook it in, plus people probably want a carbohydrate like a bagel or fruit

Lentils and Beans - need spices, vegetables, etc to make them taste better.

All of those additions start to add up.

No one wants to eat plain, unflavored oatmeal/eggs/beans. Poor people deserve to have flavorful food.

And a dinner of just beans isn’t very filling, and is kind of gross. You need some sides and perhaps a bit of meat, too. That starts to add up.

Also: I live in an area with very high poverty rates. Many people work 2-3 jobs to make ends meet. They don’t have the time or the energy to cook a batch of beans with sides of veggies every day. Often they just have to grab whatever convenience food they can.

As someone who grew up poor and was poor for my first two years post college, I can assure you that it is cheaper to buy groceries and cook than to get fast food, despite what anyone claims. A fast food meal on Friday nights was my "expensive splurge" for the week on Friday nights.

Please. The wealthy elite of DCUM know more about being poor than you do 🙄. Is there such a thing as “rich-splaining”?


Something like:
DCUM elite: oh you poor thing, you’re eating cheetos for dinner because that’s the only food item you can afford! If only apples were cheaper!!
Non-DCUM elite: actually i just like cheetos and choose to eat them. I hate apples.
DCUM elite: don’t worry dear, we’ll get a food stand selling organic rutabegas and chard set up in your neighborhood in no time…

Right. So back to the original thread point…

People like easy, fast, tasty food that doesn’t require any work from them and the cheaper the better. This rings true no matter income level. These types of food are everywhere, on every corner store, in every neighborhood- which is why there is an obesity problem. Heathy foods are available too- but people pick junk OVER heathy food time and time again. So yes, it does take work, discipline, and deliberate decisions about what you are eating to stay heathy and within a heathy weight range. To say it doesn’t (for the majority of people) is a lie to make yourselves feel better about the current state of your weight/health that resulted from choices you made either in the past for many years or the present

The thread is about thin dcum pps looking down at overweight people and judging their morality and worth ethnic and all of their life choices. Based on their weight.

You mean like how OP judges all thin people and thinks she's reading their minds? In OPs world every time a thin person exercises they are doing it to lord it over and rub it in the face of the overweight. There can be no other reason.

What is your reason for doing it?

Because I like to push my body to the limits to see what it's capable of. If I'm running I want to improve my time from the last run. I've only got a few years left before its all downhill due to age. I also want to keep up with my kids and be active with them and its no fun if I have to crap out and take a rest when we are hiking together. It helps me feel younger and not my real age. That's it.

The question is why are you rubbing it into the face of the overweight? Which you clearly do! Why do you lord your choices over the choices of other, less thin people. Don't deny that you don't. You clearly think you are better than overweight people.

Huh? How does one "lord" their choices to stay fit and healthy over overweight people? Sounds like a lot of over weight people with insecurity here thinking every time a thin person looks at them they are "judging" them. News: we are thinking about things other than your weight.

It is absolutely true that people overcome these obstacles, and that everybody should do the best they can do with what they have. But it’s also true that many people really don’t understand the limitations of poverty. (Or the difficulty of overcoming generational habits)

On another note, I hope that someday soon free healthy food is easily accessible. Something like WIC should be for any income bracket and not just for people with little kids. That would make a huge difference. (Yes I want my tax dollars to go to that)

Sure, but why are YOU (not necessarily PP, but all the middle class to upper middle class women posting on this thread) overweight?

Defending the obese poor is a bizarre thing to do to explain the overweight not-poor.

Has it occurred to you that there are people on these threads explaining the correlation between poverty and poor diets who aren’t overweight themselves?

DP - yes and it's annoying. Let's focus on a much bigger percentage of those who actually can afford cell phones and are still overweight. The problem is overeating which also bring us to another point: food is cheap.

One pp has overtaken the thread, problem is overeating, that's it, only that, nothing but that, and she is doing everyone a favor by pointing that one fact over and over and over again.
And yet, we refuse to thank her and agree with her!
Heavy is her crown and her task!

There are at least two posters saying that… because it is the truth. If you are gaining weight, you are eating more than your body requires. If you are maintaining your weight, you are eating what your body (at its current weight) requires. If you are losing weight, you are eating less than your body requires. It’s not complicated.

Yep, you keep saying that over and over too. No, sorry. OP doesn’t have a point except their own personal insecurities

I haven't said it before. I actually haven't read most of this thread, just the past few pages, but that was enough to see the obvious. I guess other PPs must have seen the same thing I did.

OP clearly has a point, and the PPs keep demonstrating it for her.

Of course you’d think it has to be one single person who believes that overeating makes you fat.
It’s been already established that logic is not your forte.

It has also been established that you truly do not comprehend the topic of the thread. The only thing you do to "refute" other posts is to call people stupid and names.

People who use words like “skinny” which have a negative association truly have no leg to stand on to stand in when talking about offensive language. The entire premise of the OP is offensive.

If these threads have told us all something, it is that thin people are judging fat people constantly. No need to gaslight fat people about what they can read with their own eyes (and what they’ve experienced in their own lives).

Yeah, but plenty of MC and UMC are also obese. I know people who are doctors and other professionals who weigh 350-400 lbs and love buffets, cruises, and Disney World. They post pictures of their steak dinners and sugary cocktails daily.

Steak doesn't make them fat. It's all the other carbs they eat with it (potatoes, bread, dessert) that makes them fat.

Steak contributes probably much more than carbs might. I also object to your constant use of the word "fat." It is rude and insulting.

I’m not saying steak in and of itself makes someone fat. It’s the large portions and overconsumption of sides like bread, potatoes, and additional calories from alcohol and dessert.
