skinny and tan doesnt mean your wealthy these days... and being fat and pale doesnt mean youre poor.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Being skinny implies that you are able to afford healthy food and maintain a fitness regimen, and being tan implies that you either vacation often or can afford to go to a tanning salon on a regular basis. On the other hand, in this society, overweight people are more likely to be from a house with low income because the food they are able to afford is very unhealthy (compare McDonald's to organic vegetables).

Not even.

Not even what?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Just because your skinny doesn't mean that people automatically assume that you're a rich person who can afford healthy food and a fitness regimen. That's not even a stereotype, it's just something you BS'd on the spot.

Um, no, it's not. Flip through fashion magazines and look at the celebrities--most of them are incredibly thin. Most celebrities also happen to be very wealthy. And I didn't just say thin = rich, I also said thin = beauty. Stop trying to argue for the sake of arguing.

skinny can also mean that you're poor and can't afford anything to eat. maybe you have to skip out on lunch because you dont have enough money to spend it on something like that...so therefore, you're thought process doesn't even make any sense.

Haha. No. Not in the US. In America, unless you're homeless, it's nearly impossible to be so poor you can't afford any kind of food. Poor people in America can afford food--just not healthy food. My point is that unhealthy food tends to be cheaper. Therefore, people who are poor buy unhealthy food, because it's cheaper, and in turn get fat because the food is unhealthy. It's a proven fact.

You're making a fool of yourself and arguing for the sake of arguing. Seriously. Stop. All of the facts are right here: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/12/05/a-high-price-for-healthy-food/

lol...youre an idiot. I know tons of kids who miss out on lunch at my school because either they can't afford to bring it or they dont have any money to buy it there. so, that article(which i didnt read) was probably written by either you or someone as almost retarded as you.

I find the word "retarded" incredibly offensive. I will not grace your stupidity with a proper response.

youe so right! everyone in america can afford to feed themselves! and everyone whos tan vacations!

Did you even read what I said? There things called "tanning salons". And these "tanning salons" cost "money". America is one of the richest countries in the world. Get over yourself and shut the fuck up. You're arguing with me for no reason and I'm sick of it.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

you know what else they could do? go in the sun, its cheap. every single tan person is tan from the salon, yeah? um youre the one that needs getting over themselves youre the one all high and mighty and sure about their argument.

shut up bitch. you're so fucking annoying. you're wrong, goodfellow is right. just because your a pale fat bitch that no one's attracted to, doesnt mean we give a fuck about what delusions you have spewing out of your fat mouth. shut upppp.

oh and if youer sick of it, dont say something back. duh. no im arguing with you because youre unspeakably stupid

by Anonymous 13 years ago

yes, america is the richest country in the world- fact...but that definitely there are not homeless people who are starving

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm pretty sure I said before that there are obviously homeless people starving in America. There will always be homeless people wherever you go. That doesn't stop a country from being incredibly rich.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

homeless= no money= no food= no lunch or dinner= skinny. There are differences between being skinny and being healthy. Jews in a concentration camp were not skinny because they were able to afford healthy food...they didn't eat anything at all! Jews= skinny Rich people who can afford healthy food and maintain a fitness regimen= HEALTHY

Two articles, actually. I'm sorry for not writing a fucking thirty page essay to appease your ignorance.

My ignorance? Oh fucking wow. There are like 10 people arguing with you and you think they're all doing it just for the sake of arguing? Just shut up.

Well other than you theres just two others. Fast food is cheap, fruits and lean meats aren't.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Not always. But the "image" most people in today's society have of a wealthy person is someone who can afford to spend money on things like vacations, fake tans, organic food, fad diets, gym memberships, etc., which would make them skinny and tan. In turn, the image most people have of a poor person would be someone who doesn't go on vacation often, can't afford expensive beauty and fitness products, and eats inexpensive food (which, at least in America's case, would mostly come from places like McDonald's), making them pale and overweight. It's true that there are many, many, exceptions to this stereotype, but that's the image most people have.

if you want to quit tearing eachother up over a stupid post, you should probably quit responding.
