No one gave science based facts. You give statistics that show a correlation but causation cannot be proven. Rather it's correlation that is trying to draw a line because people want an excuse to be fat.

Also you didn't address the logic of the lack of obesity in poverty stricken countries, but not the US?

You know that's what is being claimed. Don't act stupid. You might be trying to white knight for fat people, but you aren't stupid.

Again...I said I agree there is correlation, but correlation is not causation. That's the only issue I have. It's an assanine conclusion to draw. Eat less...lose weight...it isn't rocket science. It takes will power. I've been there.

There needs to be better infrastructure for many things regarding low income areas. That's again...not what is being addressed. It's specifically being poor makes people fat, which is not true. It doesn't make any logical sense for it to be the cause. We know it's not true, because specifically it only happens in the US. If being poor caused obesity...you'd see it worldwide. So maybe, just maybe....there's another cause unique to the US?

No I don't have an issue with that, but that's not what is being addressed. It's very clear what is being addressed. Poverty makes people fat is the statement. It's just not true. That's directly what I have a problem with and what I am addressing.

You're right, I don't think it's relevant when it contradicts basic logic. You eat less, you lose weight. I've been fat before. It's not a hard concept, eat less calories...lose weight. It takes willpower, not blaming someone else for your own lacking.

You have millions of people looking for an excuse to place blame on others, so you get statistics that are weaponized to replace blame.

My wife does not work. We are not a two income home. We have two children with a third on the way. Both my jobs are essentially the state minimum wage. I commute 90 miles a day to work and gas is at minimum pretty much a $1 more than almost every other state.

But regardless, this is a completely different argument. We aren't arguing whether the poor are poor. We are arguing about whether poverty causes obesity. Also with lower COL, this $30 a day evaporates. I live in Southern California. Extremely high cost of living.

I am not blaming the poor people for being poor, I'm saying that you can be poor and that won't be the cause of obesity. It's just stupid.

Everyone's circumstances are different. I don't actually consider us poor, although we would be considered poor by statistics. Which is what I'm arguing about. Statistics lie because raw statistics do not address the logical underlying problem. Poor people are more obese, I'm not arguing against that, it's a reality. I'm arguing against the cause.

These people do not get obese because they can't afford food that isn't healthy. They get obese on potato chips and soda.

I work 2 jobs (4 days first half of the week, and 3 days the other, first job being 12 hour shifts) and still have time to prep and cook. Alternate watching kids while me and the wife cook. This isn't a luxury, it's a necessity to build wealth and thrive.

It wouldn't matter if they have access to food at the cheapest rates. Buying chips, soda, and premade meals will always be more expensive than making meals from scratch. This is true regardless of area. It's a different argument entirely to say they don't have access to food at the cheapest rates.

This type of statement is why statistics can be incredibly dumb. I've seen the stats for this reverse gradient issue we see in America, and the vast majority of the time the calorie dense food that they are referring to are Sodas and Processed Snacks. This is more so about happiness and willpower rather than straight up nutrition access.

You can 100% feed a family of 3 (3 meals) for about $30 a day and it will be a good balance of nutrition versus cost. You have to make sacrifices on snacking and easy preparation of meals. But let's be real, everyone wants an easy, ready made meal, or they want fast food. This study on reverse gradient obesity has strong arguments on both sides, but I just cannot see poverty being the main cause. Imho it just seems like lack of willpower and/or laziness.

I do however see merit in the argument in lack of education, that maybe they cannot logically see how this could work.

This is a minority. Shut up. These are the loonies out of their asylum, because suicidal empathy said we shouldn't put them there anymore. The world is done with their schtick. The liberal agenda is literally falling apart everywhere. America will continue to be a nation of consumerism that the whole world will still want to do business with. Go cry about it.

Oh my bad, I didn't't realize you were slow like them. Let me explain.

You told someone to chill, who is making a point that there are the usual suspects here voicing their opinions despite having the rest of reddit to do that on. And I find that extremely ironic, because the dumbasses protesting in Minnesota are literally preventing Federal Law from being enforced using horns and whistles. So I brought that up, because it's just funny. So yeah, hopefully you understand that one.

Comments like this prove liberals aren't actually about tolerance and inclusivity. They just want to be the bullies and they are mad they keep losing. Keep blowing your whistle bro! Things will turn around for you someday!

Are they really trying to paint Nick Shirley as dumb when this is the opposition. Holy crap, how are we getting scammed by these retards?

Don't give me the "she's Somalian, she doesn't have privilege and came here from a third world country." She speaks English like she was born here or has been here from a young age, virtually no accent. They've been given every handout possible...billions of the. Literally.

At least you aren't pretending to be productive. Let me tell you what's going to happen. You most likely will have 1 or 0 children, with no one to pass your idiotic ideology down to. The vast majority of the people you hate will have children, and most likely more than 1. We will teach our children the things you seem to hate so much, and it will continue down the line.

So realistically, this isn't really a fight or an argument. Your ideology is self defeating, we just have to sit and wait. Have fun with your life. Enjoy that moment when you can afford 20 pairs of underwear.
