We must stamp out poverty to stamp out obesity!

I just like writing that. It shows how upside down/inside out we are :) Studies show that there exists direct correlation to obesity and poverty.

What was I thinking, the war on poverty should include health club memberships for the morbidly poor.

The poor can't afford fresh fruits and veggies, alas. The food they can afford, and the stuff the feds give away put on the pounds. Macaroni, pasta, beans, rice, etc..

Health food was a niche market devised to serve the well-off. No person on WIC can afford the organic veggies from the grocery store.

Consuming Diet Coke should be illegal. I have yet to see a thin person consume Diet Coke. Only fat folks drink Diet Coke. Therefore, Diet Coke makes you fat.
