With more than 40% of the population on food stamps, is it any wonder?

One obvious solution: end farm subsidies which artificially make fattening foods (high fructose corn syrup, corn-based breading, soybean oil, fatty meats) cheaper than healthy food (fruits, veggies, grass fed meats). It’s a simple market distortion

The whole problem is the hysterical anti-smoking laws. Smoking keeps you trim. I smoked for 25 years and when I quit, I gained 10 pounds in three months.
Give all fatties a pack a day and watch the pounds melt away!!

In 1940-41 10% of prospective military inductees were rejected for being underweight. We need another Great Depression. (It’s for the Children)

We need another Great Depression.
And we are probably going to get one.

“...more than 40% of the population on food stamps...”
What a country where the greatest health threat to the “poor” is obesity. Are Blacks not ashamed of the percentage of Blacks on food stamps? Does the NAACP have nothing better to do than go after the Confederate Battle Flag?

It would be interesting to break the fat statistics down by race.
The fact that they don't do so means that they've done it, and the result wasn't what they wanted.

Finally after over 100 years, we are number one in something.
We’re number 1!
We’re number 1!
We’re number 1!
We’re number 1!

The next thing you know we will be rioting in the streets to celebrate being number 1

They do. Do a search and you’ll see lots of data.

Well, I was talking about intelligent smokers. You are referring to those who would prefer a beer, kool-aid, and a bag of Cheetos with their smokes.
I always ate an apple and drank unsweetened tea with my ciggies.
