Poor heath/eating habits are a choice.YOU live in an area of the country where there is a gross amount of wealth. Much of that wealth has come from giant companies interjecting chemicals into our food, along with drug manufacturers that wouldn't have the wealth without all the problems created by the other big companies.
You have most likely benefited from all the downsides of poor health of other Americans.
It's simple and cheap to eat healthy in the USA more than anyplace in the world, whether one choses too is another story.
But dont blame the food when the facts show the obesity epidemic as the fact.
It's simple stuff. Two meals a day with a couple fruits, no snack foods of any kind and only water too drink. Not only will the health of the poor greatly increase they will save a boat load of money doing it.
