Do you sometimes get sad about how unhealthy Andy Reid is?

That’s interesting, because the cheapest foods are the unhealthiest, and the healthy foods are expensive.

I’m not at all surprised to see unhealthy poor people.

I was just talking about fatness. Eating a big grass-fed burger might be less likely to give him cancer than a Big Mac, but it won't make him any less fat.

Someone below poverty level shouldn't be able to eat a huge amount of anything. Although, sugar is far and away the biggest factor. They're probably spending half their food stamps on Always Save cola.

Well sure, if you’re looking at the same food type, and calorie count, then yes the fatness will be the same.

That said, the wealthy person has the financial ability to purchase healthier food because their income provides more options. When you have three dollars in your pocket, and you need to feel full for the day, you can’t get a 10 dollar salad from a sit down restaurant where you need to tip.

You hit the dollar menu at a drive through.

It is hard buying healthy food on a limited income. Fresh fruits and veggies are a lot more expensive than processed crap.
