Scary unemployment numbers in article "Generation Recession" from The Nation

[skiah]

You seriously think people get fat off unemployment benefits?

Actually, they do since they generally eat cheaper, less healthy and fattier food. When combined with less exercise, the result is obesity.

Dude, bread and pasta will make you fat. Fatty steaks will not. You got it all bassackwards.

On a per calorie basis, diets composed of whole grains, fish, and fresh vegetables and fruit are far more expensive than refined grains, added sugars and added fats. It’s not a question of being sensible or silly when it comes to food choices, it’s about being limited to those foods that you can afford.”
