How are homeless people fat?

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Food pantries, soup kitchens, and EBT cards accepted at most fast food/convenience/grocery stores.​

Breh I been through a soup kitchen and that shyt is beyond healthy . Dry ass tuna fish sandwich, soup with seaweed and some shyt in it, and a snack that is so overkill with sugar, you get instant diabetes.

Homeless brehs are at least getting fed good out in these streets

The U.S. is not the only country with a homeless population that is also comprised of overweight people. Why would you think that?

Being overweight is based on diet, genetics, and your body's digestive system.

Name the other countries where it's normal to see overweight homeless people. Enlighten me.

Is there any data on the health characteristics of homeless people in the US or are ignorant nikkas on here speaking based on myopic anecdotes?

Fair representation of the homeless population in the US?

Ultimately, homelessness can be a primary driver of health issues. Obese or not, it is unlikely that homeless people will be healthy. Would it be ok if a homeless person was suffering from skin ailments, malnutrition, mental issues... But was lean?

Go anywhere poor in America and people are fat. Projects, trailer parks. MFs is surviving off Chinese food or hot pockets and soda.

There’s a direct correlation between proper diet/exercise and poverty.

A lot of factors. Possibly not homeless too long. Buys or gets junk/cheap food. Health issues.

In miami though I’m trying to remember the last time I saw a fat homeless person and it’s not happening. Not trying to be disrespectful but a lot of them borderline be looking like walkers. Clean though thanks to the beaches and availability of water.

Homeless doesn't equal foodless

There's a thing called slow metabolism too ya know. Some people just can't get rid of the weight no matter what.

As someone with thyroid issues who lost mad weight, this is some b.s. fat people need be honest and say they love food too much or dont like to move around in healthy way.

They live on fast food.
Which is the cheapest form of food you can get, genetically modified, salty and oily..

Not always. A lot of em use the dogs to score money and for protection. The animals don't want to be out there like that

Probably were that way before being homeless and they get little activity now……
