Alabama is rank

State’s 17% poverty rate is nation’s 8th highest

Alabama gets fatter, No. 2 in country, report says

    Yes, that is the American paradox where the rich are thin and the poor fat.

    Poor people don’t make good dietary choices because they are stupid and they don’t get enough exercise because they are lazy. Of course if they weren’t stupid and lazy then they’d probably be rich.
