I think that people need to stop blaming everything else and take responsibility for themselves! I am not skinny, I am not hugely fat, but I am overweight and I am middle to lower class. I could whine and say that all the hours I work and all the extra work I do at home just does not leave me the energy to cook but that is crap and I know it. I just need to cook better more often, work out more and then I would lose weight! I know this but it is not easy. I hate beans so that is out for me, but my husband loves them so I make them for him. But I love grilled chicken and do eat a fair amount of it. and steamed veggies but I need to do better. There are so many reasons that people are fat. Everything from chemical imbalances to lack of desire to cost. And yes, contrary to some people's opinions eating better does cost more. How many healthy boring items can one person eat! I love fresh fruit, but a bag of apples is $5 here. and so are oranges. There are about 12 or so per bag. I have four step kids that live here on the weekends, guess how long that lasts! I cannot wait until my garden can go in. That will save so much.
