Yes I'm very glad I've never taken welfare too.
They DO have a choice. Again, people are not being force fed. You can drink water over a soda. It's cheaper. You can eat a smaller serving, that costs the same or less. Every single city in America has vegetables available for the same price as junk food or less. You absolutely, factually do make choices. Lower income people do not have no choice. That is a blatant lie no matter how much you want to repeat it. You are responsible for what you shove down every day. I still have no idea why every response to the basic concept that you pick how much and what you eat, and that eating more than you need makes one fat, is about poverty. Biology does not care about your class. If you eat more than you need you get fat; whether you are a homeless person or Warren Buffet. If people were too poor, they would be thin from malnutrition and not getting enough. The problem with obesity is people are eating too much. Obviously. It is biological fact. I am sorry you don't like it.
