[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP please stop using the term morbidly obese. It is a medical term and you have no idea what it means.

Also, I'm far more turned off by how rude and awful you sound than those people that you are describing.[/quote]

+1  why are you taking inventories of other people’s bodies?

Poverty and obesity are highly correlated.  McDonalds is cheap.  Sugar is a great dopamine hit when you are under tremendous stress.  Corn syrup and seed oils are highly fattening and also highly subsidized.  Poor people have multiple jobs just to get by and cheap processed food is both cheap and quickly prepared.

Gym memberships are expensive and intentional exercise takes time and space not often available.

Empathy is free and abundantly available for those who choose it rather than scorn and derision. [/quote]

+1 I'll add that I read once how parents still want to buy things for their kids that will make them happy. Since the idea of buying something expensive is to far outside their reach, they substitute with food treats.

Having grown up in a really poor area, I also think a lot of it stems from families still eating the way they always have, even though nobody is working a physical job anymore. It's all sitting at a desk but their habits haven't changed.[/quote]
