Junk food is cheaper. You can get a burger from McDonalds for a buck. In rural areas, fresh produce is definitely not as cheap as what you listed, either.

A single cheeseburger from McDonald’s is ridiculously small. I have never heard of anyone having just one cheeseburger as a meal.

A Big Mac meal is closer to $7. You can make lots of healthy meals for $7, especially if cooking for more than one.

The excuse that people are fat because all they can afford is McDonald’s is lazy and, frankly, stupid.

It’s not about the cost alone. It’s about the cost AND convenience. You can go to ALDI and buy a huge bag of rice, broccoli, chicken breast, salmon, some fruit...etc. It’s cheap. But then you get home and have to chop vegetables, season everything, marinade the fish, and cook. May not seem like a big deal if you’re working an office job where you sit 8-5, but if you’re on your feet in an Amazon warehouse for 12 hours a day, and get off your shift starving, the last thing you want to do is come home and cook. Same goes for those who work night shifts stocking shelves...etc. Manual labor is exhausting. You just wanna sit in your car and drive up to a window and be fed.

You are spot on. Except one thing, some of the most overweight people in our society are not working any time let alone 8-5. This boils down to a lot of other issues in our society where personal responsibility is being shifted to this concept of "the world has done this to me".

Poster, you are getting mad at people for being poor. It is cheaper to get full on potato chips than it is to get full on natural brown rice, organic chicken breast and kale. Blaming unhealthy citizens for not being healthy and blaming poor people for being poor does not change the facts: 1) Wear a mask and 2) separate physically.

Basically none wrote:
My husband has treated Covid patients, and the only one so far who will likely not recover is almost 600 lbs. This includes elderly patients and co-morbidities such as COPD, terminal cancer, alcoholism, etc. I’m not saying that the 75% of overweight/obese Americans deserve to die, but just that no one is willing to acknowledge it’s a major issue, and we need to be responsible for our own health.

Yeah, and when NY was having "Big" problems, I saw an interview with a doctor that echoed most were 200kgs and over.

My wife is an ICU nurse, and almost all the cases in the unit are obese, older, and with prior conditions, many times all three. Many times they don't die of covid, but with it- meaning covid was the final thing that pushed them over the edge.

Because America is 40% obese, there are going to be many cases, but the majority recover. The media is truly hyping this when you step back and think.

And this is why we're being locked down, forced to wear masks and more than likely a mandated Covid vaccine next year.

Obesity is a preventable condition - it was a choice they made not to eat healthy nor xcercise and refuse to take personal responsibility for their health. Obesity comes with a lot of comorbidities that require pharmaceutical intervention. Same with the middle-aged people who don't take care themselves and end up on multiple medical drugs.

This is the demographics of unhealthy people who's immune systems are trash and they end up needing hospital care if they get infected. And because they didn't take care themselves we lock down society destroying the economy and many other lives, are forced to wear these stupid masks at the gym and more than likely will face a mandatory vaccine.

You scared hommie?

Only an assumption here. But, I’m guessing you feel as though the only acceptable reasons to leave your house are to protest or celebrate liberal politics en masses. Like the rest of the shills.

Here’s a more acceptable solution. You should hide under the covers until it’s over, and stop acting like your opinion makes a fu(k

Much like all of our ancestors, the weak can tend to the children and elderly.
While the rest of us go about our business and keep the dumpster fire we call a country rolling.

Just putting this out there for discussion. I looked at obesity rates and Covid death rates for East Asian nations as compared to North America, Europe, a couple South American, Australia, and New Zealand. There were a total of 191 nations on the lists I looked at.

Ranked by lowest obesity rate
Number is number of deaths per 100,00 population
In parenthesis is the obesity rate for the nation
* I did not include every country, just a random sampling to compare obesity rate to Covid death rate

1. Vietnam - 0.04 (2.1%)
2. Bangladesh - 3.80 (3.6%)
6 Nepal - 4.18 (4.1%)
7 Japan - 1.46 (4.3%)
9 South Korea - 0.94 (4.7%)
22 Singapore - 0.50 (6.2%)
23 China - 0.34 (6.2%)
24 Philippines - 7.23 (6.4%)
30 Indonesia - 5.54 (6.9%)
52 Thailand - 0.09 (10.0%)
67 Malaysia - 0.96 (15.6%)
105 France - 63.59 (21.6%)
110 Brazil - 77.99 (22.1%)
111 Belgium - 120.45 (22.1%)
112 Finland - 6.61 (22.2%)
113 Germany - 14.46 (22.3%)
122 Russia - 21.68 (23.1%)
123 Poland - 23.18 (23.1%)
125 Norway - 5.36 (23.1%)
130 Spain - 85.83 (23.8%)
131 Ukraine - 20.65 (24.1%)
138 Greece - 8.47 (24.9%)
141 Ireland - 40.49 (25.3%)
146 Czech Republic - 52.42 (26.0%)
149 Lithuania - 8.42 (26.3%)
150 Hungary - 27.61 (26.4%)
156 United Kingdom - 75.89 (27.8%)
161 Argentina - 80.88 (28.3%)
162 South Africa - 34.63 (28.3%)
165 Australia - 3.63 (29.0%)
166 Canada - 29.00 (29.4%)
170 New Zealand - 0.51 (30.8%)
180 United States - 73.91 (36.2%)

Of the non-Asian nations, almost all of the nations with a death rate of <20 per 100,000 population are either isolated (Australia, New Zealand) or northern European (Lithuania, Norway, Finland). A couple of exception are Germany and Greece.

A simple scatterplot of the data.

To make a more complete list, I redid it using 162 nations from around the world. Every nation that I could find both obesity rates and covid death rates was used,

Ok this is actually closer to the truth than saying junk food is cheaper.

But let's not forget. Fruit is some of the cheapest food you can get. And it requires 0 prep. Just eat the damn thing.

That's would go a long way.

There's a bunch of veggies you could do that with too. Or....gasp... Chop some carrots celery cucumber etc into manageable pieces. Could take you 10 minutes to chop a lot. Would this be your whole diet? No. But a great, very cheap, and convenient start

Your post makes no sense you idiot. You are making horrendous food choices lol. To blame them and say it's all about their choices and then stating your terrible ones is hysterically dumb.

You just have good genetics to stay skinny.... OBVIOUSLY.
