Most fat people are farmers who toil from sunrise to sunset and have time to engorge themselves on their labor? Please...

By the way, I've never seen this much defense for sugary foods and other useless junk. Are you being paid by McDonalds so no one can be weeded from their toxic sludge they serve everyone? Eating an apple isn't actually meant to give you cancer or raise your risk of heart disease.

    You're being dense. How about actually looking up the nutritional information found in fast food vs organic?

    Just in terms of calories and sugar content, a McFlurry or Large Pepsi will always be more dangerous than a glass of water.

    You seem to be focusing on something that we aren't talking about.

    Your obfuscation is amateur.

    If someone wants to get fat from farming, good for them I guess.

    But the effort in doing so is much harder, than grabbing a bag of chips from the store and performing no real exercise/activity for the rest of the day.

    Even the "fat" farmers you describe are probably still in shape since the entire business requires a level of movement or it fails.
