I was neither making assumptions, nor excuses. I was offering possible reasons that things might be other than what you were assuming & saying that we shouldn't judge. If someone is overweight, that is between them and their doctor. What's in their trolley and who it's for is their business.al_yrpal wrote: ↑13 Sep 2022, 7:51pmThats an awful lot of assumptions and excuses by you. Cant see why you criticise mine? The stuff in trolleysj is certainly for someone... My assumption may possibly be wrong but I believe it mostly isnt. Some folk dont seem to help themselves. When I started shopping in Aldi in 2008 there were lots of people like I describe and the veg often rotted on the shelves because so few people were buying it. It doesnt happen now the demographic has changed. Aldi is now the 4th biggest supermarket chain.Vorpal wrote: ↑13 Sep 2022, 12:43pm
You have no idea why they are overweight, or what they actually eat. Just because someone has a bunch of processed foods in their trolley doesn't even mean it's even for them! They might be shopping for a relative & getting a bunch of pre-made meals or processed food because that's what that person wants. Or they might have problems with something commonly use in foods and have carefully selected foods which avoid that thing. Or they might have bought stuff that they have coupons for. Or they might be chronically ill and need food that is easy to do because they aren't sick enough to get benefits, still have to work full time, & don't have the energy to prepare food. Or they might shop at that supermarket once in every month or two & only buy processed foods there, and do the rest of their shopping at other places.
You don't like it when other people assume things about you, why do you think it's ok to do it about others?

As it happens, I know people to whom two of the quoted explanations apply.
