If the only kind of food you can get cheap is high in fat, simple carbohydrates, and complex carbohydrates, while simultaneously being low in actual nutrition, you are going to wind up as many poor people are, fat and suffering from malnutrition.<BR/><BR/>Being thin in modern American culture is a rich person's game, and it's not much easier here in Soviet Canuckistan (although, granted, we have a lot less junk food in our stores and we do seem to know how to eat).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-1163781626838208392006-11-17T11:40:00.000-05:002006-11-17T11:40:00.000-05:00What's really sad is our nation is doing nothing t...What's really sad is our nation is doing nothing to stop this, yet they give away millions of dollars in aid to other countries.
