- Did it occur to any one, that poor women are fatter because of poor
- nutritional education. Foods that are high in fats and starches are
- cheeper in cost then those that are not. You buy what you can afford.
- Try this go to the store look at the items that are labled "Lite", "low
- or no . .", "Heathly ", "diet . . ." etc. and compare equivalent products
- that are not so labled and the ones with the heathy lables the price is
- heafter. Olive oil is one example I can think of, another one is "Adams" no
- salt peanutbutter is half the price of the peanutbutters labled "low or no
- salt" found in the dietetic sections or in the health food stores and the
- same quality of peanutbutter.
- Why are they fatter, its more cost effective to buy the cheepest food which
- are high fat ect.
