Who woulda thunk that poor is now fat...
You can’t be too rich or too thin.
Certain ethnic groups don’t do well on the American diet. Native Americans and Mexicans skew the results here in OK.
These states look like the list of least desirable states to live in as posted by Yahoo days ago.
I also noted that they are almost all Red states in the south. According to the elite journalist in the stuck up Northeastern cities southerners are still a bunch of stupid fat toothless hicks who have to many guns to much religion and to many God given rights. F’em.
“Poverty is a key predictor that can lead to obesity.”
I’m so poor that all I can do is eat and make babies.
I wait, I can’t afford to do either of those!
Ohio and Delaware surprise me. The rest of them don’t.
I don’t get the correlation with poor. We’re always hearing about the need for more money for food stamps and the school lunch program (which now includes breakfast and in some areas, dinner as well).
You’d think the poor would be the thinnest because liberals always claim that they don’t have any money for food.
—I recall a comment from an Asian Indian source that is amazing that in the U.S. , obesity is the leading health problem among the poor-—
I was expecting to see Alabama in the top five and we didn’t even make the top ten!
We’ll try harder next time...grits with extra butter, BBQ with extra white bread, Spinach sandwiches made with four slices of Colby, and pancake stacks with bacon in between the cakes and drenched in real maple syrup and...
Long distance information give me Memphis Tennessee
And so they say Memphis is one of the “fattest” cities, must have something to do with barbecue, spare ribs but El Paso, the border city is usually up there too.

Obesity is linked to poverty, and eating the wrong foods, eating too much, and not working or exercising. Blame food stamps and Democrats.
Makes me think of that McDonald’s diet guy, he walked 45 minutes a day. I wonder if he skipped the sodas, that is my downfall, I try to skip or drink very little of the sodas.
“Ohio and Delaware surprise me.”
Maybe it’s all that skyline chili they’re eating in Cincinatti. :)
From Wiki:
Skyline’s menu includes their signature dishes: cheese coneys (a hot dog topped with Skyline Chili, mustard, onions, and cheese), and 3-ways (spaghetti topped with Skyline Chili and cheese); 4-ways (choice of beans or onions added), and 5-ways (beans and onions both added). Additional menu items include burritos made with Skyline Chili (including the Chilito), classic and Greek-style salads, french fries, cheese fries, garlic bread, cheese bread, and baked potatoes topped with Skyline Chili.
I’ve had that Cincinnati Chili, very good, chili on top of spaghetti, cheese is great on top too but that must add on the calories.
RE: Obesity is linked to poverty
Tell that to the Africans ( not African Americans, Africans )....
Later they complained about the fundraisers and taxes for new gymnasiums so the children would get the exercise they would have gotten anyway if they kept walking to school instead of riding the bus.
Makes sense, actually. Poor people fill themselves up on empty calories so they don’t feel hungry, but it doesn’t work because they don’t get the nutrients which keep them from being hungry. So they eat more, cheaper, higher-fat foods.
McDonald’s double cheeseburger: 99 cents
McDonald’s grilled chicken sandwich: 4.99
We have been told that obesity is a problem.
That’s propaganda.
People are now worried only about those other people who are fat. Best to leave it alone.
If the First Wookie really cared, she'd kick the president's arse for dramatically increasing the food stamp program.
Hey, we just have better food in the South. Lay off.
