It's interesting that over time, the relationship between attractiveness, weight, and economics has inverted. It used to be that being portly indicated affluence and health. The cherubic women and big rosy bums of rococo paintings come to mind.

Today, however I've found that the less expensive the food, the higher it is in the kinds of fats and carbs and sugars that tend to cause weight gain. So, the less affluent often get fat. Of course it's not just lifestyle, some people are genetically predisposed to weight gain, regardless of what they eat. Still, it's damn easy to get fat with todays foods.

I think you should vote for this, turkey.
