Obesity is considered low status because it shows you don’t have the resources to eat healthy. The cheapest, quickest foods are highest in fats and sugars.

Being obese and being poor are mutually exclusive.

I thought it showed you are too lazy or have poor self restraint or you just don’t care enough.

All things that could be overcome with resources plus all those things are commonly attributed to poor people as well

You don’t need money to be a normal weight. Lots of homeless people who are of normal weight. Almost everyone can afford to eat what body builders eat like rice tuna beans and they are in peak physical shape. The difference is they care about their body and fat people don’t. Even if you don’t have time to work out you can still care about your body.

The nicest way that i can put it is that this has been true for most of human history until industrialization, let’s say that the 50’s is when industrial food starts to make poor people fat.
The less nice way to put it is that this hasn’t been true for 70 years. You are completely clueless to health food and poverty in the 20th century, let alone the 21st. Nowadays, eating nothing but the cheapest food will in fact make you fat.

Getting mad about comments on a green text 4chan thread is crazy

This is a green text thread so my comment isn’t meant to be taken seriously.

Not exercising doesn’t mean you’re obese. I know a guy who could be this person. He’s very skinny. He doesn’t exercise but he doesn’t eat much. And he eats the same food every meal.

That is wildly incorrect and ignorant.
