MISSISSIPPI: THE FATTEST STATE AND THE POOREST

FACTS HERE (poor) AND HERE (fat).

I ... er .... um guess, Mr. Edwards, that poverty and starvation don't go hand in hand... ??? [MORE ON EDWARDS DEMAGOGUING POVERTY AND HUNGER HERE. (EXCERPT:

"According to Edwards, an amazing “one in eight” Americans lack “enough money for the food, shelter, and clothing they need,” caught in a daily “struggle with incredible poverty.”]

From the fat article:

Poverty and obesity often go hand in hand, doctors say, because poor families stretch their budgets by buying cheaper, processed foods that have higher fat content and lower nutritional value.

THIS WHOLE THING STRIKES ME AS BEING SIMILAR TO THE UNFALSIFIABLE CLIMATE CHANGE ARGUMENTS WE HEAR FROM THE CLIMATE DEMAGOGUES:

CO2 CAUSES WARMING AND COOLING,
DROUGHTS AND FLOODS, SALTIER OCEANS AND LESS SALTY OCEANS,
EARTHQUAKES, DESERTS, HURRICANES, TORNADOES,
BLIZZARDS, AND POLAR ICE CAP MELTS.

Demagogues - flim-flam fraudsters of fear - can always find some angle and something to scare you with.

I SAY: If people want to smoke, drink hooch and eat too much fatty food it's THEIR business, NOT THE STATE'S.

And the nanny-state demagogues should just STFU.
