I am not a long time poster here but this appears to be an appropriate
blog for my situation.

Like many others my total income has became drastically reduced due to
economic conditions. As a result I have, by necessity became very
penny conscious, clipping coupons, seldom eating out and skipping the
more expensive items at the market. *For the present, at least, one
can truthfully *say that I am one of those living below the government
poverty line.

I have often read reports that the reason for the high percentage of
poor folks being obese is because their poverty prevents them from
buying and consuming the right foods.

I am not presently overweight, let alone obese. *However does what I
have read often apply to me. *That is, *because I will be spending
less on groceries I am destined to become obese?

In the past I have not completely bought into this idea. *It just
didn't seem logical to me. *In fact, I had serious doubts but now that
I am now cash-challenged I am concerned.

I would like to hear the opinions of others. *It that oft repeated
theory is actually true then I can expect to begin gaining weight.

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Please ask any questions that come to mind.

Here's one. Why do you continue to make off topic political
posts, which are usually lies, part of every post? And then
bitch about others that respond to them?
