We are talking about social class. Obesity is definitely a low class giveaway. I am going to search for the study , but stats have shown, the lower the education level, the higher the weight.
I understand what you are saying, but that wasn’t the point I was making. My point didn’t have anything to do with class.
It had to do with grouping obesity (which is almost completely non-voluntary) in with strictly voluntary activities such as smoking, tattooing and piercing.
I liken it to lumping someone who has a large birthmark on their face in with someone who paid money to get a tattoo on their face.
And, as I inferred, I do see there is a common ground between smoking, obesity and alcoholism, as they may all have a compelling psychological/physical fusion, but I just don’t see it in tattoos and piercing.
