Poor people in America tend to be fat.

Cook at home — save money, lose weight, be healthy.

But, this now appears to be hate speech. Or something.

I have several low-end rentals. I noticed that my black renters appear to seldom, if ever, use the stove.

In the old days (pre-1990 or so) poor people had to cook their own food because 1,) it was cheaper and 2) food stamps didn’t pay for take out. At least for the rural poor. Gas was too expensive to run the 12 miles to town for a burger.

We like to eat out for a treat but mostly cook at home. Its a chore sometimes but so much healthier.

I didn’t read the article!!!...but here is a comment!!!

We found that institutional food packing corporations LOVE to feed kids on our quarter. Our local school provided free breakfast and lunch for all children, due to flooding of the area three years ago. EVEN though, the area was back running normally, except for a trailer park awaiting insurance and FEMA $$$,$$$,$$$. SO, they wanted to also provide DINNER for children!!!! There was to be an 18-wheeler from the city come once a week with styrofoam boxes of dinners for each day!! We protested with petitions and defeated this unbrilliant idea. The poor kids would never learn to eat except from what others give them for free...all the time having a food budget from Lone Star cards and WIC. Plus we have a local food bank that provides meat from a meat market!!—I buy my own, thanks be to God. It is disgusting to see what they buy with these cards and then what they purchase with their cash- many times for their pet food.

**Poor people in America tend to be fat.**

Fat people can be found in every class and race.

Without regular exercise, or a physically active job, the calorie intake must be lower. Prime examples: cops and truck drivers. My brother was a cop, and went from 180 to 270 in 22 years. I was a full-time truck driver for 20 years, and realized within 4 months (20# gain) that I had to change my diet or get more exercise (I did both). I managed to get back to a 175-185 range in a few weeks, and have stayed there ever since.
