View Full Version : Which would you give food to? A skinny, homeless girl or an overweight homeless girl?

Thought it would be interesting.

Ok, so you had to give a 3 course meal to one of two girls, both, got homeless at the same exact time, and they're the same in every way, except one is overweight, and the other is skinny-average (like, 1-3 lb. underweight). Which would you give food to? Oh, and typically, both girls only have a bowl of white rice and some sliced cow stomach. They both only eat that 2x a day. Both are equally starving, except one is simply overweight. Also, their parents both lost everything due to the economy. They were both already struggling as janitors. These girls, both, would be 14 years old, theoretically speaking.
I got this question, because on the news it said kindergarteners are coming in to school, and 30% of them are overweight
For those interested:
First Course:
Potatoes and Veggie Chowder

Second Course:
Mac N' Cheese
And
1/2 Lb. Cheeseburger w/ Tomatoes (2 slices), avocado, lettuce, and Whole grain bread

Third course:
Ice Cream Sundae


And NO. You cannot decide for the two girls to split the meal. It has to either go to one or the other!

It depends on which is in better health and their situations of becoming homeless.

I'd give the food to the girl of misfortune quicker than the drug addict.

Why would she feel it worse? Just because she's overweight doesn't mean she isn't use to eating very little. Also, the skinny girl could be use to eating like a cow.

That it true, but its more then likely shes feel it bit worst then the skinny underweight girl saying, she will eat more then the skinny underweight girl its a fact

But the overweight girl would have extra fat on her body, extra fat means extra energy.

How do you work that out its if shes hungry or starving then her stomach will start eating itself making her feel worst so therefore needs it more

The stomach wouldn't eat itself, ever. It shrinks, it's like a bag. When you over eat, it grows, when you don't, it returns to normal. Most overweight people have big stomachs just cause the stomach is stretched out so far.

This is not even really a debate, and has no real purpose...especially here in ROTW.
