    are you suggesting ¾ of the population is poor?

    Completely unrelated to the weight loss issue, yeah absolutely. Depends on your definition of “poor” a bit, for example federal statistics list the official poverty cutoff at around $15k a year in income which is stupendously low, and even with that being so much lower than what’s realistically survivable in most places they still report 11% of people being in that bracket. Less than half of Americans have more than $1000 in savings. Most of America is extremely broke as fuck.
