Why are so many of Washington DC's Homeless Obese???


I see the same homeless people all the time, and at least 50% of them are obese.... Not simply fat, I'm talking Obese. They sit at the same street corners, don't move, lay there, are 1/2 the time too lazy to even ASK for money, they just sit in the same spot with a sign.

If you don't believe me with homeless people, look at the stats, the lower class is more obese on average than the upper or middle class.

Now I know some of the bleeding heart types will say that...
1) It isn't true ( but it is)
2) that poor people can't afford healthier food ( which is a retarded response, even a Mcdonalds meal is expensive when you consider all of the food you can buy at the grocery store for 6 bucks).

There is nothing to change the minds or language of the bleeding heart types. The poor ( and even homeless) are fatter on average yet they still call them " the starving poor" which is complete and utter sensationalist bullshit designed to play at your weaknesses. Words have meaning and their hyperbole is a trick to make you guilty and vulnerable.

Do you realize that some of these bums sit at the same street corner and don't even MOVE for years? They don't even walk to the mailbox of the section 8 house to pick up a welfare check, these people literally don't even move...

but yup, they are entitled to their lifestyle and the worker bees of the world should be forced to pay for their drug/alcohol/fatty food habits.

Oh and in Maryland now it's a hate crime when a crime is committed against a homeless person. Isn't every crime a hate crime????

One question. What do you do with all those healthy groceries when you are homeless?

For a lot of people with mental health problems, junk food is their entertainment. And junk food is now lot cheaper than cigarettes which is their other main source of entertainment

McDonalds has a dollar menu which is a the best possible deal in terms of offering something that they like, is cheap, allows them to sit down for a few minutes. When you are homeless, the gas station convience store is the only place you can go inside for a few minutes at night and all they have is junk food. And when your address is the street and your only transportation is your feet, those types of places are much easier to get to

Further, hunger and fat are seperate issues. Being fat has to do with filling your fat cells with energy and nutrients; being hungry has to do with how little is in your stomach. A fat person who goes 24-hours with no food is going to be hungry. Sure they might lose a pound or two when that happens, but when the $30 gets added to their food stamps card every month they more than make up for it with 50-cent bags of potato chips from 7-11

when every type of government assistance available upon demand, why are they homeless?

they can receive cash, food stamps & rent

and I don't think you can legally use food stamps at fast food restaurants, but there is a black marker for everything

OK so do you agree that...

1) There are a lot of fat homeless people ( not starving)
2) Poorer people are on average fatter than middle/upper class



So then why do (liberals) always try and pound in this " starving poor" notion in America? Fight the "war on poverty"? It's just an excuse to tax more of your money away ...


There are dirt poor people in India starving to death
There are dirt poor people in Ethophia starving to death
There are poor people in America that are Fat and Obese !!!


Only in America do you find " starving poor" that weigh 250 pounds and can't move. Only in America. I saw a fat homeless lady watching a portable TV set eating out of a take out pizza box and she was actually leaning against the IRS building. How much does that piss you off !!!

no doubt there are millions of Americans hoping that someday they can sleep on a park bench while shitting themselves and talking to alien dentists cohabitating their park

You can use food stamps at gas stations

Also, not every crime is a hate crime. I would think most crimes are done for profit, not out of hatred; negligence or ignorance of the law would also be more prevalent. If I knock some teeth out of a homeless person because his drunk ass is harassing me, it would not be a hate crime. If I push him down so I can take his wallet (remember they carry their entire life savings around with them) it would not be a hate crime. If I hit him with my car while talking on my cell phone it would not be a hate crime. If I punch, kick and stomp on him because I have do not like homeless people, than it would be a hate crime

Willie, homelessness exists mostly because of mental illness and mental retardation

Again, eating shit food for three days, followed by three days of not eating is starving yourself. And it will make you fat

I am a mailman and you are wrong. On check day they are all over me for their checks.

The 'worker bees' (whoever that is) are now paying for alcohol and drugs for homeless people?

Do they at least buy in bulk so that more homeless are supplied for less money?

Here's a very upper economic class guy, thanks to how much money he bilked out of little old ladies via his television church gimmick

I bet there's not that many homeless people as much in violation of the Deadly Sin of Gluttony as this guy

Well, they're at least well fed, according to the OP

We interupt this thread begun with a silly ass premise to note that the above post is a very, very sensible summation of reality.

I base that on my own work during the past 14 years in DFW Tx and TBay area of Florida working with people working to overcome substance abuse problems.

DPNuggs, if you've ever patronized TwoBuks Sports Bar over on Hercules and Sunset Pt, that would make three people who have replied in this here thread who have done likewise (me and Willie99 last fall)

Yes and a lot of it... So don't call them the starving poor. Call the kids in Africa the starving poor, call the starving kids in India the starving poor, call the starving kids in Japan the starving poor.

but do NOT call the fat fucking slobs in America the starving poor, it's insulting.
