And Freepers wonder why poor people are obese.

On the contrary, I don’t wonder at all...I know exactly why they’re fat...they take our tax dollars (EBT) and instead of buying groceries and making meals at home, they go to these establishments.

Poor people can make a decision to use their God given brain to educate themselves instead of watching God knows what on tv while munching on their SNAP/EBT provided crisps and other junk food.

They can choose to get off their FAT a$$es and go walking around the block to burn off calories, moderate their consumption, whatever...

Many, however, as is apparent, elect not too...

Can’t generate much sympathy for willful choices and decisions...

Fast food joints carry all kinds of salads and will, if the demand is there, carry more options.

They sell what the market in that area demands.

I decided to moderate my intake of junk...I do have my vices, but I also choose carefully where I eat and exercise to compensate for my caloric intake.

Choices and decisions is what it all boils down to. RE: the Trader Joe’s fracas...

Poor is a state of mind, it isn’t about what is or isn’t in your wallet.
