[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the "healthy food" answer is nonsense.

Women who meet[u] the actual definition of both rich and skinny [/u]do not eat much, just enough to stay alive and functioning.   At that is not expensive, at all.

Not true.  We shop at Whole Foods & spend at least $350/week on groceries.  Organic fruit & vegetables aren't cheap. Wild-caught salmon can easily be over $20/pound.  My almond milk is more expensive than milk.  High quality olive oil is more expensive than butter or canola oil.  I sent Dh to the store & he couldn't get over a small pack of chicken costing $15.

When dining out, an entree costs the same whether you finish it or not.  However, a higher end restaurant is more likely to have smaller portions than Applebee's.[/quote]

Yes true.  If you were truly met the actual definition of "rich" -- which is what this thread is ostensibly asking about -- you would 1) not do you own grocery shopping, a household manager would do to for you, and 2) you would have no idea what your weekly grocery bill was and you would't care.

upper middle class =/=  rich.     Seriously, they're separate things.    I'm upper middle class, I shop at Whole foods, and I don't need to be schooled on the price of purportedly-wild caught salmon at WF during June (answer:  it was $29 btw).   I have girlfriends who are RICH, who live in whole-floor residences overlooking Central Park.   If I quizzed them on grocery bills, they'd blink in confusion.    Their nutritonist consults with their cook and the household manager gets it done.  [/quote]

All of this.  And the women don't eat -- the food is for the kids and the husband. [/quote]
+1 Million. I think people are really misguided on class markers here. The top 1% lives very similarly to the top 15% of the wealthy. People in the top 0.1% have very different class signals and extreme thinness is one for women. It has nothing to do with “organic foods” or exercise. I know some extremely wealthy women (like, living in a house you can’t see from the street) and eating is totally different for them.[/quote]

Seriously. My aunt used to be a caterer and I met a personal chef who cooked for very rich women. What they would eat was bizarre. Think soup made of puréed zucchini thinned with water. Radish salad with just vinegar as the dressing. Dinner or two scallops. [/quote]
