Hi,
I am not homeless nor poor. And I´m sure that none of mylot´s members are like that. All of us have money enough to reach a computer and internet. That means money.
As for eating, I like to eat, I love to cook but eating is not my goal in life and I don´t like to eat loads of food but maybe decent quantities of very well prepared and nutritious food.I am not fat. I put on some kilos when I quit smoking but I´m trying to shed them little by little. As I don´t believe in overeating, I don´t believe in awful diets. My avatar is myself last year, 64 year old and after I quit smoking. I would not say I´m "fat".
Take care.

hi marguicha I would not be so quick to say all mylotters are rolling in money as a lot of us here in the US are out of work, and yes money is in short supply, i am glad you have plenty but do not feel snobbish and look down on all of us who have had bad luck and are not as well off as yourself. yes we were even homeless for a shortwhile not because we wanted to be at all, but my son lost his job so we had to do what we did, I am here in this tiresome retirement home just so I will not be homeless, my 
social security and ssi checks pay for it each month and let me have a small amount over for my personal use. so no I am in a way poor yes I do have a computer but its an old one, and yes I work here on mylot to afford the internet,no I am hardly as well off as you but I am coping, myson is in a government sponsored apt with two other men all of whom are looking for work. yes there are unrich my lotters here too.If I sounded harsh its just that so many people are so smug about not being poor or homeless as though all homeless or poor people are third or fourth class citizens not just people who have had bad luck smack them in the head. We were evicted simply because we ran out of money after my son lost his job. no crime. so please no aspersions here. I maybe 83 but I never ever wanted to land in a retirement home, I was happy with my adult son in our two bedroom apt and we were just like any other of your neighbors but bad l uck smacked the hell out of us, and it happens to middle class people.

hi anitarei321 I eat to try to stay healthy as I am a type two diabetic which means I do not use insulin b ut diabetic oral medications. I have to be careful to keep my blood sugar between 80 and 140 which is the limits my own doctor set. I try but am not perfect but am doing a lot better now that I am more careful now all I need to do is lose weight.

As an aditonal comment, Hatley, I´d like to tell you that the people I mentioned do not have a doctor to check on their ailments as we do. I don´t know how you could misread my words as to think I was being a snob and looked down on other people.

I really do not understand just where you are getting at here, but in a way I do, the terms "Eat to live" Or "Live to eat" Is in a mind set, many of us we live to eat, we over eat, food is our best friend. Then there are others of us that eat to live, meaning that we eat when we need to and do not over do it. Which the latter is the healthiest way do eat.
Now, as for me, I eat to live, I actually forget to eat many times, although I do take things to work with me to eat, I may take a bowl of soup and a sandwich, and I will eat on both the whole six hours I am working.
I am not going to say I do not eat at home, for I do on the weekends when I am off work, but as a rule, if I do eat something at home, it is mainly a bowl of cereal or something like that. Most of my meal is ate at work.
I do know that I have to eat, for I do have blood sugar problems and if I don't eat, my blood sugar bottoms out on me, and I hate that feeling.

hi anitarei.
to eat to live can make one healthy. but to live to eat can make one otherwise. when he/she does not know when to stop that's where the problem is. being unhealthy can be the result of an unhealthy lifestyle or habit. and eating is one. because we are what we eat and what our body absorbs. too much is usually detrimental. that's my humble opinion.
