re: How can someone be fat and homeless at the same time?

And begging for money?

If you have enough money to maintain your 300lb weight I assume you have enough to find somewhere to live.

Fat, Salt, & Sugar are the three cheapest things producers can use in their products. It's the same reason why a McD Hot n Spicy is $1 vs Chic-fil-A's Spicy Chicken sammich for $4.

Today low income earners have statistically at a higher level of obesity vs those of with a higher education and income.


Plus they use what little money they have to buy big gulp cups fom Subway, 7-Eleven, and McD bc they can refill for a very little amount or even free. What very little money they have they use for drugs or alcohol.


Plus a majority of homeless suffer from mental health issues and/or drug abuse.

You also have a smaller proportion that are just your gutter punks and vagrants.
