How is it that it seems that more than a few poor people in America are fat, but poor people elsewhere in the world are universally skinny?
The few rich people I know are average or thin. Some of the middle income people I know are a bit overweight, but not disgusting. But in the places where poor people live, the neighborhoods where there is high unemployment, and heavy government assistance, there is a lot of fatness. And I do not mean a little overweight. I am talking big ass fat. What is that all about?
