You want to see this country lose weight? Make a twinkie 20 bucks and an apple 25 cents. Make two liters of soda 4.00 and make bottled water and 100% juices 1.20 for the same size. The moment we can't afford Junk food but the cost of veggies and fresh produce goes down you'll automatically see a drop in weight across the entire country. As a mother of 4 with a sedentary 8 hour workday, and a very limited schedule, I live on a budget and have very little free time for working out. I have to make my dollar stretch and so do many other people in this current economy. It's still more expensive to eat healthy. Make the junk expensive and make our healthy foods more affordable and you'll see changes. Everyone is affected by the almighty dollar so hit 'em where it hurts. The pocket book.View Thread
