being poor cannot make you fat if you cannot afford to eat. That being said, 10 times outta 10 a poor kid who grew up the hardknock life, will beat the living hell out of the spoiled rich kid who was sheletered. Not to mention, rich people are depressed more often and kill themselves more often. They also say retarded shit like “money cannot buy happiness”. ---

They just suck so bad they are fat no matter what. -LOL yea buddy because being able to beat other people up is an astonishing accomplishment! Besides I work with plenty of poor people most of which are cowardly pussies. -I’m sure you have statistics to back this up? -Poor people say retarded shit like “must be nice” instead of trying to better themselves. Whats your point? POOR PEOPLE FUCKING SUCK! They are shitty, ugly, fat, lazy, dumb, general leeches of society, and worst of all they are poor. ---

Poor people are more likely to be fat because low-cost processed foods are chocked full of empty calories and fats to make them taste good. They cannot afford good healthy wholesome foods. The rest of you’re argument is too ridiculous for me to even consider. ---

Poor people are fat because they are too lazy to get off of their asses and do anything besides play video games, watch tv, and eat junk food. ---

I wish I could understand why poor people that have so much free time, spend so little time trying to turn their kids into something usefull. At least I know cororate america will take care to show them commercials for all of the toys they think they need so that the can steal them from the middle class kiddies. ---

The other day I was shopping with my 3 year old and we witnessed some stupidity. This father was acting like a child while yelling at his kid. Even my 3 year old was looking at this guy like this:eyebrow: I couldn’t help but think my 3 year old might be more smart than this father is. Oh yeah, he looked poor, which may not be fair because he could have been wealthy. Who really knows just by looking.:gotme: ---
