All things that could be overcome with resources plus all those things are commonly attributed to poor people as well

You don’t need money to be a normal weight. Lots of homeless people who are of normal weight. Almost everyone can afford to eat what body builders eat like rice tuna beans and they are in peak physical shape. The difference is they care about their body and fat people don’t. Even if you don’t have time to work out you can still care about your body.

Do you think fat people don't feel shame about their bodies? They don't feel inferior or like failures?

Do those emotions sound like they could be experienced by someone who doesn't care?

Poor people work jobs, sometimes multiple, sometimes with kids to take care of.

Do they go to the grocery store and pick up all the supplies needed to make healthy dinners for the week, then go home and cook for an hour and a half?

No they put something frozen in the microwave or they grab McDonald's.

They dont have the financial capital to work less and they don't have the energy capital to work more at eating right.

You should strongly consider that when you're judging the fat people who wander into your life, or falling for racist propaganda that tells you poor black people in America must have it pretty good since they're all obese.

When I say they don’t care I meant they don’t care enough. So anywhere in the range of giving zero fucks all the way through to I really care a lot and it bothers me and makes me ashamed and upset but not still not enough to eat less calories. The proof of this is when people who were fat begin to care enough and loose weight, it happens all the time.
