About this site
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

thanks and Mc D and their friends.

I meant “Thanks to Mc D and their friends”

A=B, the only weight free of body issues?
August 4th, 2009 at 11:04 am
I thought back in teh old days that the rich were the fattest. Like in Victorian era. The poor were skinny because they couldn’t chow!
August 4th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Oh, if I were a rich man…
My wife would have a proper double chin…
Yes, if I were a rich man!
August 4th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Thoughts of “Oliver!” are running though my mind right now…
August 4th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
True

Corn is subsidized.

I think I know where High fructose corn syrup fits in here…

Alternative title: Slothfulness has more than one repercussion.
August 4th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
“Alternative title: Slothfulness has more than one repercussion.”
Wow, aren’t you the sheltered bitch?
August 4th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
@pi3832: What? How does that message convey a tone of having been “sheltered”? I see much more sloth amongst the poor and obese than I do amongst the wealthy at this point; in times past, the wealthy were renowned for their laziness, given that they could have their peons do whatever needed done in most cases.
This is a generalisation, of course, but the point is, I’m unsure where your spite and malice come from, unless of course that’s a personal attack on you as a slothful, obese, and non-wealthy individual?
August 4th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
The coordinates are backwards. This graph says that your wealth depends on your obesity. What everyone’s interpreting, and what I think the point was, is that obesity depends on wealth. Just an FYI
August 5th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
“Wow, aren’t you the sheltered bitch?”
Struck a nerve?
August 5th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
I think Obesity should be the dependent variable and Wealth on the independent axis. Makes more sense that way. This says as much about Fritos™ as it does about time & money to go to fitness centers.
August 5th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
… at least I know why I used to be skinny and now… well… not so much….
August 5th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
@Chaz
Clearly your anecdotes represent statistically significant information that doesn’t, in any way, diminish the suffering of the over seven million working poor.
August 5th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
@Ralphy:
Where did I say anything about the working poor? I don’t intend to, as you suggest, diminish their suffering; we’re in the comments of a humor blog here, not a forum full of self-important profundity regarding the nature of society.
August 6th, 2009 at 12:30 am
@Chaz: Ahh, I see the problem - you forget that this is the internet. A place where taking instant offense at imagined slights and flying off the handle at no prompting is considered de rigueur
Also important is taking responsibility for defending millions of people living on the poverty-line. Ralphy clearly is the spokesman that they’ve been clamouring for all these years.
August 11th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
People arn’t necessarily poor because they are lazy. It was a little harsh to suggest so.
August 12th, 2009 at 12:10 am
And people aren’t fat because they’re lazy. Not all the time anyway, not even most of the time.
Rich people are usually skinny because they can afford constant working out or surgery, not because they work harder or are healthier.
August 13th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
And the middle class are caught in a worm hole…filled with Lipitor (health care not standard in all worm holes).
August 26th, 2009 at 10:54 am
mmmm…McD’s…I’m gonna go get one of their breakfasts…
August 29th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
Reminds me of a report that people on food stamp (i.e. poor) increase their weight: http://www.newswise.com/articles/view/555048?sc=mwhn (also described by Gary Taubes in Good Calories, Bad Calories). Poor people tend to eat cheap and nutrition-less food, which in turn causes obesity.
