    While I totally get that, and it is funny, I feel the need to comment:

    One of the reasons that obesity is so prevalent among the poor is that cheap, processed convenience foods are the only thing that fits in their budget. These foods are nutritionally empty and wreak havoc on the absorption metabolisms.

    Nutritious food involves fresh ingredients and preparation... which cost time and money that the poor don't have.

    I don't think I mentioned anything about all homeless people being fat. In fact, I don't think I even mentioned homeless.

    I think there is something to that. It's not bull crap.. some people are predestined to blow up, get fat or what have you eating the fast food junk crap. I see the irony of the fat homeless man... but high fat and calorie meals void of nutrition make up the diet of a good number of the less fortunate. (I would imagine so, at least, as I have no data to bolster that)

    but for at least in this thread I tend to agree with avvie.

    Well I mentioned "you might not be able to afford housing, but you can still be fat", and that's what you quoted and responded to and tried to correct me. I just assumed by doing that you were talking about what I said.

    However, I still think your theory is bull crap...;)

    he didn't really attempt to correct you.

    although I don't have data I have actual real life experience living on the streets as I did for a period of time in San Francisco back in 1997.. and I am here to tell you that homeless folks have terrible diets. Just because someone is fat doesn't necessarily mean they are well nourished...

    I realize that you (Hoffa) were pointing out irony... and I get it, and yes, it is funny. I don't think that's in dispute... but I don't think what avvie has to say about it is "bullcrap"... else how do we explain the "plumb" homeless? :wink2:
