According to a new Gallup poll, workers who remain unemployed for a year or longer suffer from higher rates of obesity, high blood pressure, and excessive cholesterol. While workers who have been unemployed for two weeks or less have an obesity rate around 23 percent, some 33 percent of long-term unemployed people are considered obese.

Why? Obesity is a health problem.... along with hypertension, heart trouble and other physical stresses one gets the longer a person is unemployed.

Obesity is a health problem one gets for being physically inactive and having an imbalanced diet. There is a difference between correlations and causation. Much like linking crime with the popularity of ice cream trucks, linking obesity with employment is sophomoric and misleading.

We should concern ourselves with solutions when we have problems. An employed person who remains physically inactive (which many jobs are) and maintains an imbalanced diet will likely remain obese; whereas an unemployed person who is physically active and maintains a balanced diet will likely not be obese. Gallup is sophomoric and misleading. Waste of time.

The poll didn't "link" any of those conditions to employment. It states quite clearly that these are findings of the health conditions of the employed and unemployed.

Nonetheless, since you are so contemptuously dismissive of the findings, tell us:

1. Why are employed people less obese than the unemployed?
2.Why do employed people have less hypertension than the unemployed?
3.Why is the cholesterol level lower in employed people than in the unemployed?
