How can poor people afford to be fat? |
|
|
Is it just me or does anyone else find it weird that there's loads of fat poor
people around these days? I mean, really, if they're so poor and all, how
come they're so fat? Surely if you're searching down the back of the couch
for your euros and cents then you're not exactly going to be pigging out
come dinner time? Where the hell is all that food coming from if they're
so poverty stricken?
Wouldn't it save them cash if they just skipped a meal or two along the way? I just don't get it. If I was poor, thank Visa I'm not, I think I'd be super skinny. I mean, like, surely they can't afford taxis or stuff either so shouldn't they be getting loads of exercise cause they have to walk everywhere? Next time I see a fat poor person waddling around Shop Street I'm definitely going to stop and ask them why their priorities are so screwed up? "Hey poor person," I'll say "How come you're wearing Primark jeans but you're still stuffing your face three times a day? Lose the burgers for a couple of days and you'll be well able to afford a decent pair of DKNY's, plus the weight will drop off you what with you starving yourself and all. Then maybe you'll get a bit of interest from a few studly types with a bit of cash." I'm sure they'll be very grateful for my advice. |
