Comment on YSK tricks for one of the cheapest meals: beans and rice
JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world 1 day agoObese means fat, not just overweight. The fact that there are twice as many non-obese among the poor does not make them thin! Unless it’s that people get fatter and fatter as they get poorer, until they get really poor and they suddenly they become skeletal, is that what we’re claiming? This whole talking point makes no sense and you seem rational enough to be able to admit that.

I focussed on the obesity statistics because that is what you were talking about.
OK, let’s flip this.
According to you, people with no money are not only buying junk food, but buying it in quantities to become overweight and obese.
People with no money are buying large quantities of food.
Is that what you’re claiming? Is that how the world works in your head?
I’m saying that people with no money have no money to buy food. You’re saying that people with no money somehow also have enough money to buy large quantities of unhealthy food.
At this point I can only assume that you’re just arguing bad faith, because there isn’t anything complicated to understand here.

Always the final resort to “you’re arguing in bad faith”… You have no more idea what motivates me than I have about you, so why bother making this unfalsifiable accusation? Anyway. You have expressed what you don’t understand about my argument, just as I’ve already expressed what I don’t understand about yours, as well as I possibly can. Nobody else is listening. Let’s just leave it there.
