The Unites States is the only country in the world, where obesity is considered a serious health problem Among the poor.
People hear the words rich and poor, but it seems the average voter can't define which is which. Over at the DUmpster, those idiots will argue all day over whats poor, some of them think its anyone that makes over 70 G's a year, some even say a couple that is married that combines for over 80 or 90 g's should be considered rich.
One of things I have noticed at that board, compared to this one, is how much poorer and more jealous they are.

Well, it's all relative. Some who lament the plight of the poor in our country have no idea what "poor" really is. I do. Poor means no shoes, for a start. Anyone who's been through the depression probably understands what poor is, or anyone who first hand witnesses the total agony of Cambodia, or South America, etc, places like that.
Only in America - our "poor" folks #1 health problem is OBESITY.
No wonder people are scrambling to get over here, they know the inmates are running the asylum. Until one leaves the country for a spell, it's truly impossible to understand how crazy this place has gotten.
