Is The Recession Causing Obesity?
According to a “study”, over the last year the number of obese Americans has increased by 1.7 percent. That is apparently 5.5 million more obese people in the country. Who’s to blame for this? Well, apparently the recession!
Without as much money, people can’t afford to buy healthy foods. And we all know how expensive steak, fruit and veges are these days!
But on the otherhand, is it likely that people who eat steak, fruit and veges are going to go back to their junk food, or are they just going to eat less of the healthy food?
In that case, people will become thinner!
Or another thought may be that because everyone’s depressed, they’re eating junk food to feel better, not to mention the amount of time saved by getting take-away! I always feel like ordering pizza when I’m feeling down, so obviously there’s 5.5 million Americans just like me!
