The stupidest remark I've ever heard from the government was the recent statement that the "poor" were the most overweight because "they have less access to healthy foods and tend to be more inactive."

There you have it folks; the poor in America are fat and lazy. . .so let's give them more money.

Genuinely poor people, like the kind I saw in places like Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe would all be very confused how one manages to be in poverty and yet still be fat and "inactive." They would not understand it and they would think it was a joke. . .well, it is a joke. . .and the joke is on the U.S. taxpayer.

the "poor" were the most overweight because "they have less access to healthy foods and tend to be more inactive."

This appears to confuse cause and effect. It makes sense that people who are idle and have no self control would tend to be both overweight *and* poor.
