It's time.</p> <p>Well and lifestyle.</p> <p>When you spend 40 hours a week working a shitty job, the last thing you wanna do is spend another 5-10 hours cooking on top of your other chores.</p> <p>As for doing something about it... the simple answer is. We shouldn't. </p> <p>People should have the right to get as fat as they want too... it's their lives they're screwing with. The government shouldn't try and coax them into being healthy, outside of informing them of the problems with their bad lifestyles and possibly removing laws that restrict what someone can do with weight based issues.</p> <p>Afterall if you can't charge someone based on weight on a plane, or for healthcare, or even pay the same to people who live unhealthy (vs it being genetic) in welfare plans... then it's costing everybody instead of just the person who is that weight like it should.</p> <p>Of course it's easy for me to say, considering i don't live as healthy as i should, but still stay thin.</p> <p>Either way... nobody should be stopped from making any bad health or life choices they want to make, but at the same time, said effects should lay mostly if not completely on them.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p><a class="link" href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/12/05/a-high-price-for-healthy-food/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/12/05/a-high-price-for-healthy-food/" target="_blank" class="link">http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/12/05/a-high-price-for-healthy-food/</a> ------It's not a myth.<br><br></p> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p>...Did you read the article? It was a horribly-written article. They analyzed cost per calorie of junk food vs. healthy food. Which one do you think would come out as being cheaper per calorie?</p> <p>The real discussion on cost of healthy vs. junk food would be to make about 2-3 dozen meals using healthy means, and unhealthy means. I think you'd find that the cost is very similar. Of course, the healthy meals would have less calories - that the point of a healthy meal...To fill you up using low-caloric foods.</p></td></tr></table><br /><br />
