Kewl. America has too many calories. Getting less of them could reduce healthcare spending.

That was my initial sentiment but then I realized that, food alone was perhaps not the greatest worry.YellowSnow said:Kewl. America has too many calories. Getting less of them could reduce healthcare spending.

If food prices rise, expect for dawgman subs to rise proportionally.

Sounds good, but according to inflation measures as prices go up people substitute to cheaper (and in most cases more unhealthy).YellowSnow said:Kewl. America has too many calories. Getting less of them could reduce healthcare spending.

Back to the days of a block of cheap cheddar and mega-sized packs of Ramen. And soda. You can always by a case of Coke for next to nothing.HoustonHusky said:

So long plant-based diet. And real meat. -

Eh but its the cheap processed crap that is the problem.YellowSnow said:Kewl. America has too many calories. Getting less of them could reduce healthcare spending.

You have to want to and you have to be somewhat resilient (I hear being stubborn helps).
I frequently eat healthy (to drop weight) for about $5 / day - eating only raw fruits/vegetables and drinking only black coffee and water. If I can do it 2500 miles from the source, anyone can.
Yeah, adding another $5 for protein and other supplements still makes it cheaper than 2-3 meals at a fast food joint.
How much of not being able to afford eating healthy is truly due to cost?

A lot of times it can be access to those things.

Thanks. I would think rural areas could grow some of their own but only during part of the year. Fruits and veges (or soups made from veges) can be frozen.Mad_Son said:

The idea of some one not being able to make it to a supermarket, or farmers market, is interesting or even compelling.
Thanks for your response. I agree knowledge is likely key. -

Food prices going up terrifies me. Compared to other industrial nations, the US pays more for food and it’s of lower quality, both from a taste and nutritional standpoint.
I won’t get into how this ties in with our nation’s obesity epidemic, but from an economic standpoint this should be nipped in the bud immediately.
