The American Affordability

http://health.msn.com/reports/obesity/default.aspx

The presentation on this link prompted an interesting discussion with my friend Jamie. I really think she pinpointed a core value in America that contributes to our obesity complex. I agree with it so much, I’m gonna pass her words off as my own. In America, we give way too much credence to affordability. The Walmarts and Mcdonalds have taken this concept and perfected it–sucking out every ounce of value and replacing it with high-calorie fructose bs and every other cheaper alternative Americans live for. America is so affordable that even our homeless are plump. Affordability at the cost of poor quality is actually high-cost in disguise. Sure you save 2 bux, but you pay for it with your health.
