“”Obesity is the toxic consequence of a failing economy.””

I don’t know even where to begin addressing this statement.

I suppose a link to real starving people could at least start the discussion. You know, people with gaunt expressions with RIBS showing, etc.

Just another stool sample from a programmed activist journalist.

She could buy potatoes and rice and other staples and COOK things herself, but that would slow down the eating speed, I suppose. USDA surplus does furnish cheese, butter, canned meats, and staples. But then, one would have to go to some effort.

I bet the Haitians and Somalians wish they were obese.

The left seems very concerned about the poor who are simultaneously starving and suffering the ill effects of obesity.

“Obesity is the toxic consequence of a failing economy.”

OK, Einstein, how do you explain away all the tubbies in the US during the past ten years? Are they the consequence of a strong economy?

What a puddin’head(with apologies to Moe Howard).

Only in America.

Where “the poor” are obese, have cars, $200 sneakers, the latest cell phone, dvd players, televisions, manicured nails and perfect hair,

and complain all the way to the welfare office.
