    Have you taken the time to look into why there’s such an obesity problem? It sure seems like the singer hasn’t, otherwise he wouldn’t be denigrating poor people for being obese.

    EBT doesn’t pay much and the cheaper foods are chock full of terrible ingredients that tend to lead to obesity. It’s not easy to afford good fruit, vegetables, grains, etc when you’ve got a small amount of money that has to stretch a lot.

    If it weren’t for the myth of the welfare queen we might be in a better place to provide for people in need. And there will ALWAYS be people in need in a capitalist society. It’s how it works.

    Honestly, a bit of empathy and understanding would go a long ways for people so upset about people on welfare.
