> Although I never went a full day without eating at least two meals, it wasn't rare to go sleep hungry.

I go to bed hungry every night, not because I can't afford food, but because that's how I control my weight.

Thats a great thing to do voluntarily for your health if you have extra fat to spend (IMO)! But no so much when you are underweight and don't have means to procure another meal.

[WalterBright]

In America, obesity is epidemic among the poor, not underweight-ness.

The person you're replying to is in the part of the Americas where this isn't true.

This board is always a bit parochial, but there's no excuse for it when people are clear about where they are.

[WalterBright]

I did clearly say "In America".

[metters]

But it is your choice.

[WalterBright]

At last! Someone on HN agrees that people have choices!

Yes, it is my choice. I also noticed that my food bill went down substantially when I started this.
