Why are rich people so slender while poor people are overweight?

[Haha456]

you would think that rich people be fatter because they can afford to eat better and more food. But its the quite the opposite. whats the explanation?

its the same way how poor people have more kids than rich people. you would think that broke people wouldn't have as many kids because they can't afford them. right?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Rich people often have an incentive to live longer because they desire to live in luxury for as long as possible so they put in the effort to be as healthy as possible vs poor people who are often struggling in life a lot financially and don't see the incentive to live longer lives of misery.

As for why rich people have often have less children than poor people is because a lack of education.

The more educated you are, the more you understand or are aware of the world around you from a social, culture and economic expectation as to what entails to raise children, how will it impact the community and the financial cost of raising children.

Poor people don't put any thoughts into the social, culture and economic impact of having many kids because they simply aren't educated about the world around them nor often times have the financial means to contraceptives.

most accurate answer

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Thanks.

Wealthy people in developed countries are leaner and healthier because they can afford to eat better food -- particularly. Preparing healthy meals is both more expensive and requires more time.

[Brokenheartedx]

Rich people watch what they eat, and by that if they could get odd with eating nothing without dying it would be better.
Victoria beckham is rich, look what she eats, same meal everyday
Kardashians another example, look what they eat or don't eat.. They'll sit with huge plates of food and not eat it
Plus rich people have access to personal trainers and surgery.
Most cheat and have gastric bands, think sharon osbourne

They might be slender but at what cost? Starving themselves to look skinny..

[Haha456]

rich people can hire chefs. do you really think they need to buy pasta sauce in jars? do you think they need to buy a loaf of bread from the store? they have people making it fresh for them every day. no preservatives. no fake shit.

[Minxxie]

Because the cheapest/quickest food is full of empty calories and poor people who work multiple jobs don't have as much time to cook healthy meals and go to the gym/ have active hobbies like skiing and yoga classes.

Poor people also don't have access to quality local produce and meat and freshly baked bread so they end up with sketchy shit full of preservatives, sugar to make it addictive, and fillers (mostly corn) which the human body is not meant to process in such high quantities.

In grocery stores "poor people" usually have their carts filled with junk food not because cheaper than healthy food but because such food requires less effort.

When someone is working 2 or more jobs to pay the bills, etc. putting effort into cooking is the last thing they consider.

Comically many "poor people" will tell you that junk food is cheaper than eating healthy when the reality is, it isn't.

Good food such as beans, etc. are relatively inexpensive, can be cooked in larger amounts for multiple days, etc. but requires more effort.

.

On the other hand "rich people" typically only have one job, they typically work only 8 hours (not 10, 12 or even 14-hours like "poor people"), and they have time to put thought and effort into cooking.

That's the real difference.

You could say that dieting habits reflect personality.

Poor people are typically poorly educated, prone to alcoholism and drug abuse, and in the workplace are usually the do bare minimum to keep job / no amibition / lazy even types.

[Haha456]

rich people can afford to hire chefs and maids. remember that

[Haha456]

A box of healthy sushi costs about 25-35 dollars. do you think the average broke person working an 8 hour day can afford that daily?

[Haha456]

the average poor person will just boil some pasta, and have it with 3 hot dogs for dinner. sure, hot dogs have preservatives and saturated fat. sushi doesn't.

[Opinion Owner]

My god you are beyond stupid, a special sort of stupid. Middle class don't have chefs & what not you pathetic braindamaged moronic cunt and they are not fat. RETARDED TRASH.

[Haha456]

Middle class people are fat too. Middle class is not "rich".

The richer someone is, the skinnier they are

[jennifer_bloom]

I'm not a doctor or a nutritionist, at least not legally and medically, but I believe mental and emotional and psychological pressure burns calories just as effectively as physical work outs. I believe emotionally active people are skinnier because they use more energy to do their daily activities. If somebody is obese, I assume they are emotionally blunted and do not respond to things, so their mind is underworked and overly rested.

[Haha456]

Stress can cause people to gain weight. Something called cortisol you should look into

[artsy_dragon]

Being healthy is expensive. Grapes are more expensive then cakes for example. Back in the old days, being overweight meant you were rich and being thin meant you were poor.

[Haha456]

grapes are not more expensive than grapes.

[Haha456]

grapes are not more expensive than cakes.

[artsy_dragon]

Yes, we're I live the cheapest grapes are £1.39 and then they go up to £2.99. You can grab a cake like a angel cake for £1 in most places

Because poor people can only afford fattening foods and non nutritious foods which are cheap. Poor people also have more kids because they don’t worry about paying for them since the government does if you keep having more, financially responsible people don’t do that or live off the government

[exitseven]

Wealthy people can afford to eat healthier foods and have the means for better healthcare and can afford gym memberships.

[Anonymous]

They take better care of themselves. The eat correct portions of healthy foods, don't drink soft drinks like coke and rarely ear fast food and lomit their sugar intake.

[Shamalien]

Poor people eat food which poisons them and are foolish enough to have kids they cannot sustain. Rich people didn’t get rich by making poor choices like that

[Anonymous]

Because a lot of people that can work but don't sit around all day and do nothing except eat and watch TV. Truly poor people are skinny.

[ericclayton]

Empty carbs (junk food) are relatively cheap, while produce and quality meats are more expensive. One of the many reasons.

[Anonymous]

Poor people in America are richer than the rest of the world. 95% of Americans are in the wealthiest 1% of the rest of the world. What we consider poverty here is considered wealthy in almost all of the rest of the world.

If you haven't seen a rich fat person, you can't get out much.
