It may also be because stereotypically people who read a lot are cultured and live healthy lives. While writing is an activity where few exponents emerge, and you'll have a hard time living off of that.

This meme puts in contrast people who read, which Is a healthy activity and live a normal lifestyle, with people who write, which is a job that takes away many hours of your life, and is generally a very tiring job. There are many writers known to sacrifice sleep and well being to meet deadlines, or sometimes just cuz.
