Do you think there is a correlation between wealth, or lack there of, and obesity? |
Do you think there is a correlation between wealth, or lack there of, and obesity? Look at it this way: Wealthy people can eat where ever they want. For instance, foie gras is horrible for you, but only the wealthy can afford it. Wealth often brings decadence, and with decadence comes a load of rich (so to speak) foods. Poor people, or maybe more accurately, people who are unable to avoid major financial problems like debt (I'm included in this category) also tend to lack self control; therefore, they are more likely to overeat. Now I admit these are broad statements, but having known several wealthy and several poor people, I see obesity on both sides of the fence. EDIT: Some of these responses tend to equate intelligence with wealth. That is quite inaccurate. Rich people are not smarter, and Paris Hilton should be evidence enough of that. Yes, I think that wealthy women have much more time on their hands to work out, and they have more funds to help them get trainers, etc. Also, the healthier foods cost more than the unhealthy ones. Logically, there is some correlation. Rich people have money to buy food, and therefore can (and sometimes do) become obese. Poor people lack money to buy food, and therefore can be rather skinny. However, some poor people can also be obese, and some rich people can also be skinny. It is just simple logic. There is SOME correlation, but not a direct, overall, general one. The poor have a higher rate of obesity. yes poor people tend to buy cheaper food's which have higher concentration of carbs and rich people tend to buy too much fast food so there is a correlation and not so yes and no (more yes) I think someone with wealth normally has a better education, able to purchase healthier food, and have the means of joining the gym or fitness center. Individuals that are poor normally have to buy food that fit their budget (which are not always healthy), do not have the time or money for physical exercise, and lack the education of what is healthy and not. I do believe there is a significant correlation. Oprah? |
