hmmmmmmm, I know that for me, I live just outside of town and end up driving everywhere. Walking can be pretty scary, unless it is during the day in the summer time.
I also lived a poor and "food deprived" childhood. I don't remember much of it, but I do remember that every ounce of food count. So what was on your plate must be eaten or you got in trouble for wasting food. That concept has stuck w/ me. It's hard to just stop when I know I have had enough.
I have started eating smaller amounts. Or if I have more the I need . . . I share w/ my dog. It helps. Now I just need to get into the gym.

Far more Americans than Canadians have forgotten that the hole up front is considerably larger than the hole in back.

fast food is more expensive than healthy home cooked food so surely the poorer the person the healthier they should be??
