Topic	C/D: if lotsa bums are obese, your country doesn't have serious poverty.
Moonjay 10/19/19 2:16:15 PM #18:	Aaantlion posted... Most of the obese "bums" either haven't been homeless for long or are between places and aren't exactly living on the streets. It's kinda like the old Chris Rock joke, "When you see a homeless man with a funny sign, you know he hasn't been homeless very long. Real homeless are too hungry to be funny." Moonjay posted... Cheap food is usually also bad food with high calories and poor nutrition. It's no wonder that the poor can end up fat. And at the same time some poor people in this country are starving. It's all a mess. Not for nothing, but that reasoning is just fucking goofy. If somebody's been "homeless" for a while and they're overweight, then odds are they aren't exactly living on the streets and starving. I guess you're free to go by stereotypes, anecdotes, assumptions, and jokes. But you may want to try going by actual studies that people have done. https://hms.harvard.edu/news/one-third-us-homeless-are-obese --- `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, and the mome raths outgrabe. <cite>Moonjay posted [p:928972604] in C/D: if lo...
