I don’t agree that poor people are helpless folks no can’t resist too many chips or too much McDonald’s dollar menu
They don’t resist too much cheap food because they don’t have the discipline to
And that lack of discipline pervades their lives and causes them to be fat and frequently lazy too
Ive been on the coast a lot since February dealing with a friend at Driftwood nursing home in Gulfport who was in hospice till this morning
I think there are less fat folks there than in middle tennessee which is saying something
In any event it’s not about lack of availability to less fattening food
They simply won’t resist too much food
We are so so so fat outside the upper classes where there is pressure to not be fat
My ancestry a few hours north of Biloxi where dirt poor and laden with butter and lard and sausages and fattty food galore
But they did more than collect disability and sell pain pills and eat too much cheap fast food
They worked
Lumberton area?
I have gotten overweight several times, and I NEVER eat McDonalds or any other fast food. We cook our meals at home 99% of the time. I only have ME to blame when my weight goes up!
