[ ...reply just to this | comment on the story... | next new ] 67. by earl hamner Poverty? by joshv at Wed by earl hamner 31 Aug 3:08pmscore of 1.5 intriguing I swear, the US is the only place on the planet where the "poor" are fat, have cell phones, cars, satellite TV, and can afford $50+/month for cigarettes. They might live in a filthy housing project or trailer park, and depend on the graces of the local emergency room for health care, but this is nothing like the "poverty" the rest of the by earl hamner planet experiences.

Re: Poverty? by workerant at Wed 31 Aug 4:14pmscore of 1.5 compelling in reply to comment 67 The poor are largely fat because it's cheaper to eat at McDonald's than it is to cook a meal. Inexpensive foods (bread, pasta, potatoes, etc) are all starchy, nutritionally void and fattening, even when cooked at home.
