Reply #177: Also, unhealthy food does often make you feel better

[miscsoc]

If you're depressed and hopeless. I'm pretty fat, losing weight now, but I've only started eating healthier since my prospects turned up recently.

I'll wager that low-income obesity does have a lot to do with the fact that eating, you know, a burger is pleasurable. Not THAT pleasurable, maybe, but when comfort is hard to come by you DO end up thinking "fuck it, i'll go to KFC, it'll make me feel good for a little while". That's why I do it.
