So guys, what's it like living in a boring echo chamber nowadays?

idk about takeout /takeaway, but all of the poor in America have this, yes.

I thought you said that there were no poor in America?

 

[Arthur Brain]

It absolutely does reflect wealth. Precisely zero poor people have BMI over 30. Precisely zero.

Precisely, rubbish Idolater. it's already been explained to you that poor people can't afford properly balanced diets and nutritional meals and can only afford food with high fat/sugar/salt content. Been there myself.

Try to keep up. According to BMI there are zero poor Americans. According to whether someone is on SNAP benefits, there are poor Americans. And of those people, there is everything you asked about, except for takeout /takeaway, which I am unsure whether is SNAP eligible. I suspect not, but who knows.

It's explained to you that folks on SNAP can buy all the "properly balanced diets and nutritional meals" they want to. Nobody's stopping them from doing that.

You said there were no poor people in America and then said that the poor in America had access to well balanced diets so hey, keep up yourself. I'm glad you now admit that there are, in fact, poor people in America. There are, that's fact but no, they can't afford nutritionally balanced diets as even the links you provided in regards to obesity showed.

Precisely rubbish again Idolater. They can't and even the links, a couple of which you sent here as I recall, tied obesity with a lack of resources to buy foods high in nutrition.

? If folks on SNAP opt against "properly balanced diets and nutritional meals" and instead load up on calories, which is how they're all fat, just math and science talking here, what are you proposing? That police force feed them "properly balanced diets and nutritional meals"? What kind of totalitarianism are you promoting here?

The data is what it is. The commentary is what you're gravitating toward, because it's ideological. But the data is what it is. They can fill up on calorie dense food and that's what they want.

"Opt out"?! You ever been on the breadline? I'm guessing not because when you're in a position where you can only afford the basics in food then it isn't a lifestyle choice to give up nutritious food...read your own links man.

Which runs contrary to your baseless assertions. The commentary is logical in relation to said data and defies your - for want of a better word - argument.

In the U.S. it's very often the case that economically struggling communities don't have the same access to healthy food. They have corner stores and fast food but not the same amount or kinds of grocery stores, farmer's markets, etc. that would give them access to fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and minimally processed foods. Both parents work long hours and there's not enough time to cook a meal that takes time. They're overwhelmed, and if the closest place is a McDonald's, they do what they can.

Ya know, ironically and with retrospect to this last year, I've never been remotely fat or anything resembling and I've never had the healthiest of diets either, even being able to afford whatever I wanted to eat which most of the time I've been able to. I've probably had the recommended 'five a day' portions in terms of vegetables/fruit a handful of times overall in life and a fast metabolism can be great, but when you're down to just over seven stone in weight as I was at one point a few months ago because of stomach issues, it's scary, a couple of times I thought this is it, game over so to speak, so when I hear this unbridled, judgmental ignorance regarding poverty, obesity, *lifestyle choices* etc, it's something else. For those in comfy armchairs and warmly heated homes: If you're lucky enough not to worry about food and have a well balanced diet be glad, and quit sitting pompously in judgement over those not in such good fortune.

Happy Christmas.

Who's doing that?

Happy Christmas.

You too.

You too.

You are, for one.

You've misunderstood something then.
