huge topic:Americans keep getting fatter

[briansd1]

The more I think about health care, the more I believe that the educated and/or the rich (who can afford people to educate them) will be healthier; and poor and ignorant will become sicker.

There will increasing health disparity between the classes.

In the last century, life expectancy was pretty much the same across social-economic classes.

That will change as access to the best, life prolonging, health care is limited to those who can pay (better save your money if you want to live a long time).

totally agree, ocrenter, every year I too went thru my kids halloween candy, left them each with a small baggie and took it to work in a very large bowl which every year I was able to take back home empty the same day. What does that say for adults’ eating habits??

It now seems like fat is becoming a partisan issue.

It’s a class and culture issue IMHO.

if you take the % making under 30k map and put it next to the obesity map, here’s what you get:
