@ChibiMiddleFinger Yeah, good point... Unless treadmills can be bought with EBT...

@ChibiMiddleFinger I agree with you..as if she suggested people without enough money to buy good food should  buy a treadmill..how insensitive!!

I love how people always feel the need to research the problems of lower middle class< families. The reality is that more money would reduce almost all of their problems and thus, end these condescending research studies.

This is right on the money. Unfortunately, there are some people who believe that education is the cure for obesity. Children know the difference between healthy foods and unhealthy foods. The problem is that lower middle class< families who work 12+ hour days for low wages cannot afford the time or money to cook healthy meals. Much easier to grab a bucket of chicken.
