Is The Economy Making Us Fat?

More MSM stupidity. What, we weren't fat when the economy was "better"?

"Dieticians warn it very well might."

Dietitians are the same idiots who are preventing people from losing weight.

"Almost two-thirds of Americans are already considered overweight...and with rising prices at the grocery store, nutritionists say the percentage could grow as more people turn to fast foods, and eat more overall because they feel stressed-out.

Hungry consumers are finding a buck goes a long way at fast food outlets, and the burger business is booming."

Good for them. They found a bargain. Some might say that is being a savvy consumer.

Now here is how to eat healthily when consuming fast foods. Look at the Fast Food Weight Loss Guide (tm) - it's free.

"As a result, dieticians say, fast food is becoming more appealing than cooking with fresh ingredients."

More dietitian drivel. There is no assurance that "fresh" foods are lower in Calories than prepared foods.

And when it comes to weight, it is all about Calories in and Calories out.

"What's more, despite offering clients huge discounts, gyms around the country are reporting declining membership, due in part to the sluggish economy, and that could add to a perfect recipe for increased American obesity.

Nutritionists point out that eating healthy is actually a good investment, since fewer health problems down the road could mean you save money on health care."

First, exercise is a terribly inefficient way to lose weight.

Second, eating healthily costs less so you do not need to invoke the spurious "good investment" argument. The very fact that they did, shows that they do not understand how to eat healthily.

Third, not paying for the bad advice of a dietitian "is actually a good investment."

Remember that.
