I'm really surprise that this is a title on a news story. When I was growing up as a little child, I saw a very poor obese person. I asked my mom how could this be. She told me when you eat trash, you get fat, but since you don't get nutrition, you stay hungry. It was the third world, so instead of fast food it was rice and lard, but the same concept. This was 30~ years ago. Recently, I started volunteering at a food pantry. I was shocked at how many grown men and women say: 'but I see a ton of fat poor kids... they don't need food'. I mean, there's a remarkable level of ignorance and lack of empathy you need to have to use such an observational to jump to such a conclusion. The fact that such a well known fact is a title on bloomberg news piece is a sad statement to the status of our society.
