Actually, I live in a wealthy community ( on the poor side of town.). The really rich folk are not obese at all.

I was a large guy in a senior role in two large companies. Onei. telecom. Another in banking. The higher I rose in the company, the more comments I heard on my waistline. And I am not what most people would call obese—I was built like a 40 year old stevedore or linebacker.

In the city I see young people who are just grossly obese. It’s a nutrition thing, not an abundance thing.

Well, I would argue that abundance is in fact prosperity.

My parents and grand parents and the folks on old movies experienced the depression and war. They tend to be thin.

I understand your point though.

My BIL has always been in banking. The banks get rid of managers both male and female around the age of 50. I think it's a shallow optics thing. They cut good deals in early termination and the managers have plenty of business relationships to go on to other ventures.

When you are first hired in banking management, your mentor is usually preparing for the curb. It's like a life cycle. And yes, don't get fat, bald, or other ways unattractive. For that sin it's the curb immediately without the parachute.

“The really rich folk are not obese at all.”

My brother is very wealthy, $4.5 million dollar home wealthy.

He lives in a super wealthy area.

All the people are super fit. I’m 25 lbs overweight on a 6-3 frame and felt morbidly obese.

At his daughters HS graduation party all the moms were super hot and fit and numerous trophy wives.

No tat’s and no smokers either.
