Generally the cheapest food is cheap vegetables, pulses etc. You don't have to buy quality organic produce, I'm sure US supermarkets stock 'value' vegetables & meat. These people get fat because they eat processed crap, and probably don't know how to prepare a meal from scratch. I work with a guy who is seriously obese. He came to my house last Friday and we had to stop for a breather on the way from the train station. My 65 year old mother wouldn't need to stop (admittedly I live at the top of a hill...). He's only 32. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
