    this reminds me of the news I saw a few weeks ago about a homeless bodybuilder? I was wondering how did he get all the nutrition to build his muscle if he really lived on the street....

    I heard, years ago, that you can't be charged for stealing food, in France (don't know how true that is as I just had a google and couldn't find anything) so maybe he just helps himself?

    So many stereotypes here.

    You can be homeless and have money. There are plenty of working homeless in the US. Some homeless people go to work, eat, play, take care of their kids, and work to improve themselves.

    I had a good friend who was homeless for years. He got plenty of temporary work and had a car. He stayed with friends, or slept in his car, or camped in the woods, or got a motel room. It just wasn't a priority for him to have a permanent place to live. You never would have known it to look at him. He wasn't a beggar, wasn't on public assistance, and never went hungry.

    I think it's great if anyone wants to improve themselves. It's hard to stay healthy if you're living outside. This guy uses bodybuilding to improve his panhandling revenues, so he's really no different than any other professional fitness model or athlete: you invest time and money in your body, and then other people give you money because they're impressed by how you look. At this point bodybuilding is his job, and he's working for tips, kind of like a street musician or a busker.
