I mean they eat, wives or husbands cook, but where do they take money if they serve each other all-day-round?

I actually have a theory about that, It seems that if you buy the cheap foods you are more likely to get fat, because let's face it, the healthy products are a bit overpriced,no? Shouldn't it be the other way'round??
Like if you go to a grocery store, and want to buy chicken... everyone knows Tyson's has more hormones/hence the big hips, and the bellies... and it's cheaper in comparison with the other brands that claim to be organic/ or non hormon injected...
And then there's the MC'Donalds place where you can buy a double bacon cheesburger for .99 cents.. no??? ( I just saw this the last week or so)....
I mean I think slim people pay more for food... No???
Let's see some numbers.... You buy 8 oz of Salmon that costs $5.99, while a modest person can eat about 4 cheeseburgers and fries for that much... NO??
Or you get Stofer's frozen meals, lean cuisine, 3.45 a box... and if you eat 3 of those a day, you spent already 10.35 per day... while the phat person might eat 5 cheeseburgers, and have 5 bucks for the next day... Hmm??? think about it...
(ok, I can't imagine eating 5 double cheeseburgers in a day)
Don't look down of fat people you might get there one day, and choke on your own joke... Nobody can guarantee you that you won't get phat... I am saying that nicely...
Plus fat people - it's been researched- are usually way more intelligent than slim people becasue their brain has plenty of myelin the "fat" around the brain cells that makes it easier for the synapses to travel faster... so... I bet when all this goes to hell, next thing in fashion will be to get fat...

It doesn't matter what the income is. It's just your behavior. For the most part, though, people with lower incomes will be heavier simply for the fact that it is EXPENSIVE to eat healthy. Fresh veggies are costly and go bad in just a few days. It is cheaper to eat a double cheeseburger for a dollar than get a $4 grilled chicken sandwich with no mayo. People who have more money, who are inclined to eat a lot will do so, because cost doesn't matter. In women, higher weight is more an issue of mood and temperment (I got up to 248 pounds, 82 of which I have dropped after being diagnosed and treated for chronic depression and anxiety). This is really a heartless question you have asked, and it's not the income that matters. It's who someone is, how much they like food, what their mood is, etc. Weight is math. If you eat more calories than you burn in a day, you'll get fat. One Big Mac is over 2000 calories. o_O It doesn't cost much to gain.

Well, anyone can overeat with a steady/minimal income. It depends more on what you are eating. To be honest, more people with lower incomes battle obesity than those who are well off. This is because processed food, fast food, and all things unhealthy are generally cheaper than organic or fresh food. So, those who can afford better food might be eating healthier than those who can only afford the bad food. There are individuals who have a lot of money and just eat eat eat, but I would say that poverty and obesity are linked moreso than a high income and overeating.

Well, oddly enough, the less money you have, the fatter you quite probably are because you buy processed food. The best foods for you, health wise, are found in the outer ring of your grocery store. But they are also the most expensive -- fresh fruits and vegetables, etc. The cheaper junk (boxes of hamburger helper, off-brand frozen pizzas, pasta and canned sauce) is found in the middle and it's what lower income people and those on government assistance end up with when they try to stretch their dollar. Most end up fat even if they are trying to be careful about it. If they are on assistance, they probably have no job and are depressed, so they sit around and eat their cheap junk food and get fatter. Endless cycle.

Drinking cake batter is a great way to get morbidly obese and relatively inexpensive. Gravy over ice cream is real good too. Then once you are really fat you can go on disability and social security and eat from other people hard earned tax dollars.

There are poor and rich as well as the everyday working paycheck to paycheck people that are fat. Income doesn't have a thing to do with it

Actually, cheap foods are more fattening. Like, no one gained weight from lobster, but McDonald's and $1 Oreo cookies...
