Being in the "Bible Belt" (not being originally from here, a term I can no longer take serious, food is one of the few non- taboos, so it's always ok to put on the feed bag. I mean give me a break - even at church pot lucks are a religion within a religion. "The sermon this morning will be on world hunger, and after the service there will be a pot luck." <br

If you don't exercise or watch what you stuff in your face is what will make you fat. It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor. No one is shoving the food into anyones mouth, eat less exercise more. More frinking excuses, when does it end? Never.

We got a discount on the burgers for working there, but me and a few others that would just pop one in the mouth when no one was looking! LOL , I actually didn't mind the job, but the pay sucked.

When I've been budgeting, I eat a lot of spaghetti or rice & beans, so it makes sense that people who have families, but not a lot of money, would buy these foods. However, I'm not sure that a diet of pasta causes weight gain. So much of it has to do with one's metabolism and genetic makeup. I know people who eat very little and gain weight just smelling good food! :-) BTW, Elvis lived in Nashville and he was very overweight, but also very far from poor. Anti-depressants can cause we...

Most low income people can't afford to buy good food, so they tend to buy the cheap food that is packaged large to feed their families; marketed to cater to them and is usually higher in saturated fats corn starch, carbs, high futose corn syrup and sugar. It costs more to buy low fat/no trans fat, low sugar/low sodium foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, and lean meat. So they tend to put on more weight. FACT. <br

High rates of poverty and Southern hospitality? Huh? Maybe it is the fried food. So none of the well to do are obese?
