here's what really sucks:
We have to work like dogs to make ends meet, living paycheck to paycheck trying to make ends meet....
healthy food is waaaaaaaaaay expensive so when you have a limited budget that has to stretch 15 or so days until the next pay day, you go for starchy, not so healthy stuff that fills you up and is cheaper.
More starchy bad for you and fast food type stuf + Longer hours sitting at a desk trying to make ends meet = Fat Americans....take all that and throw in a healthy dose of stress, which puts your body in survival mode and causes you to store more of what you eat as fat...yep...no wonder.
Thus, the bigger the gap between the wealthy and the working poor in this country, the heavier we get. It's sad really.
