Report: Low Incomes Can Mean Unhealthy Eating Habits
February 8, 2009 - 5:23pm
Americans may reduce the amount they spend on food during this tough time, but experts are concerned that people are chowing down on cheap, unhealthy foods.
Reports have linked obesity and unhealthy eating habits to low incomes.
One recent study shows, a 10-percent rise in poverty translates to a 6-percent increase in obesity among adults.
Most fast food restaurants have dollar menus that are low in cost, but sky high in calories and fat.
i know times are tough for everyone but tsw3288 have you ever considered Meals On Wheels?
If not please call your local Meals on Wheels and hopefully you can recieve a hot meals monday thru friday.
