People get fat in times of prosperity and abundance and tend to get thinner during leaner times. Which would you rather deal with?

Oh, please...how come we keep hearing how the “poor” can’t afford healthy food. We just had a whole thread about THAT last week. We’ll see if everyone loses weight during the next few years...just preposterous.

Worth repeating! I thank God every day I was lucky enough to be born in a time when obesity is common and even somewhat problematic. History tells us this won’t always be the case, even in this country, and the face of famine is much more unpleasant to look at than rolls of fat.
