Some university pricks wanted to prove that everyone else lives in a trailer, and is so fat and stupid.

There is nothing more to it than that.

Studies like these begin with drunken and offensive notions proposed at a bar, and then brought into the laboratory the very next day.

As an ER physician of more then 20 years, with experience all over the country I can state that it has been my observation that the poor are in fact more likely to be obese and engage in other bad health habits ( smoking, drug use, drinking to excess ) then the well to do.

For what it’s worth.

My observation is that the poor are usually heavier. Yet ironically the people I personally know who have the most incredible physically demanding and exhausting full time jobs are the poorest people I know. They are not sitting on their butt all day eating free food. They must sit on their butt during their off time eating paid for but highly not nutritious food. I'm not trying to be funny. Not all poor people are on welfare. I don't like the quick jump to that stereotype is all.
