Diabetes? Obesity? Heart Disease?


Sure, all this food is free, but aren't these people worried about how unhealthy all this crap is? You can't really eat 100% processed foods every week, without all the health risks associated, like diabetes, obesity, etc. I don't see any of these food coupon clippers buying any produce, etc. No offense, but it's kinda scary! It's like that Chris Rock joke, where he said, "Can I help you with your cheap ****?"

I hope they buy fresh food with all their savings.

I thought we had high rates of those diseases b/c a lot of people eat too much of that stuff. some families have to eat like that b/c there aren't any grocery stores nearby the little stores in their neighborhoods charge way to much for healthy food if they even carry it.

Whenever I visit Mexico it always surprises me how fresh food cost so much less than it does here and how expensive the processed stuff is. It does suck to have to wake up early to get tortillas b/c if you go to late they are already sold out and closed. I haven't been there in 10 years. I wonder if it is still the same?

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
