Obesity should be shameful. That gluttonous, undisciplined, delayed gratification failures in America should revel in their disease is a tax payer burden by all of the diseases caused by obesity. Shame on you FAT Americans for not seeing the facts & changing your EATING HABITS! Sorry but its true. Who permits themselves to accept "My 600 lb Life"? Mental illness needs treatment & shame if you do not pursue it.

@OwlInASack Word

Back in Oregon, there were alternatives. Over East, I’ve not found them… My assumption is they’d long ago driven out their competition, which is likely why communities in OR fought/ fight to keep them out. I was in one last week.. But prior to moving east, could have counted my actual purchases on one hand. Once, I finally had to tour one; the community had lost, and now have a ‘super store.’

I go there occasionally to make myself feel better. I know when I walk in a Walmart, l am going to be the best looking human being in that store. I know it is a low bar, but l am not into steep hills any longer.

@Varn They just put one in in Warrenton, about 7 miles away. Went in once because i needed something and I could not find it in another store locally. I will not go back in as next time I will just go on line and get whatever from another company that treats it's people better.

@dalefvictor Bingo, it’s apparently taken them ‘this long’ to reach from ocean to ocean... Well, I’d worked a number of years for Fred Meyer, and would occasionally take some shit for ‘them’ having driven out the ma & pa shops before them.. But shop Freddies, cuz if you don’t ..I’ve some inside info ‘Kroger’ (parent owner) will turn them into ‘groceries only,’ as they are over east. And OR will be down a major alternative.

Just last week I (yet again) asked - where, other than WM can someone find anything ‘around here?’ I get blank stares ..even from those who ‘hate them.’ I avoid Amazon, too

Maybe if vegetables and healthy food cost less than fast food and junk food. You do know that Obesity is a money maker, right?

@Wildflower It does cost less, I grow and collect mine and fish and hunt

@CourreurDeBois Are you going to teach poor, inner city people to grow, hunt, and fish? And where are they going to do that? In the sewer?

@CourreurDeBois Just because you are able to do something doesn't mean ALL people can do that.

@Wildflower I have taught many in the past

@CourreurDeBois Good for you, I give you a great big pat on the back!

@Wildflower See my article. Fast food is quick, plentiful, tasty (we love fats, salt and sugar) and very cheap. If you are poor, you won't be shopping at Sprouts.

@GuyKeith You don't have to tell me. It's @CourreurDeBois and others that need to see it.

@Wildflower Yes. Corporations make it cheap & easy to eat. It takes knowledge & affordability & access to eat wisely. Visiting the fast food industry 3 times a day for brown & white food is a death sentence that the tax payer funds.
