I've seen promos for the movie The Devil Wears Prada, in which a character says, "0 is the new 2, 2 is the new 4...and 6 is the new 14". Meanwhile, I've read reports about America getting fatter, and how fast foods are making us fat, and that fast food joints attract poor and working-class people who don't have the money nor the time to buy and plan healthier meals. And we know that these days we have tax cuts for the rich and outsourcing for the poor. Therefore, here's my thesis: There's a correlation in the USA in the early 2000s between "the rich get richer while the poor get poorer" and "the thin get thinner while the fat get fatter". What do you think? Can anyone of you make clearer what this correlation is?
