And I believe that part of what causes the obesity epidemic. People know they don't want to put for the ridiculous effort it takes to get to that size and think "why bother".

Partly, yes. Also, it's a lot cheaper to eat crap. Produce is expensive. McDonald's has a dollar value menu and you can get a snack cake wrapped in plastic with enough crap pumped into that it could survive a nuclear holocaust for 25 cents. And people sit on their butts all day long. Technology has made us into some lazy fat *kitten*.

I don't think it is cheaper to eat crap. Sure there is a dollar menu, but the portions are very small. You can buy a bag of carrots for $2, a bag of brown rice and a bag of beans for about the same each and feed a whole family. For more than one meal.

Seriously? Are you American? Do you live anywhere where people are living in poverty? Produce is expensive. Even the non-organic produce. A tomato is almost a dollar...sometimes more. I can get three little debbie snack cakes for a dollar. I see people eating cheetos for breakfast on the train and stocking up on processed macaroni and cheese at the dollar store. A spaghetti squash costs $7, but I can buy a package of bologna for $2. Maybe it's my exposure to urban poverty, but I cannot fathom how one could think it's not cheaper to eat junk food over healthy foods. It's why processed food exists. It can be mass produced cheaply.

Wow, we are way off topic here. Sorry about the thread hijack.

I was thinking the same thing.. where do you live? It's cheaper for me to buy a bag of candy and a bottle of Pepsi than to buy a bag of grapes and a bag of salad... it is more expensive to be healthy. My grocery bill shows it. I used to buy ding dongs and ice cream. Now its carrots and apples and I spent about $20 more a week.

Thanks, Heather. I was starting to think maybe I was crazy.
