The discussion centers around the concept of "Nothing" as a metaphorical food item, suggesting that poorer individuals are more likely to consume unhealthy fast food options, such as McDonald's, compared to wealthier individuals. Participants debate the implications of this consumption on health, with references to the documentary "Super Size Me" highlighting the negative effects of fast food. The conversation also touches on the broader societal issues of food accessibility and health disparities between socioeconomic classes.

It's better than your favorite food, but poor people are more like to have it than rich people. If they eat it, though, they die. What is it?

An empty stomach.
 
i agree with yomamas second answer. as to wether its better than real food, I am not sure. after you eat it you feel the urge to hurl.
 
the super size me ^^
 
Are poor people more likely to have it? Or do they like to have it more . I didn't really get what you meant
 
Nothing is better than your favorite food. Poor people are more likely to have Nothing than rich people, if you eat Nothing you'll die.

Well done Gale17. Sorry I didn't respond to your first correct answer. By the way, I caught your pillowhead pics. No button was ever this cute. I would ask you for a date but I'm old enough to be your grandfather, my wife won't lend me any money, and the game commision insists that I throw 17s back.
