statement. Poorer people have a greater tendency to eat those foods that are high and I mean HIGH in saturated fat, and trans fatty acids.You too can see this too in middle class and high income folks as well. I could write a book about calories & diet and am quite sure that all members of DU could write one as well. I do recall a segment of ALL IN THE FAMILY when Archie was trying to lose weight and he told Gloria, " why is it that every time a lab mice dies, we lose something else good to eat." My only suggestion would be for folks to have 3 to 4 servings a day of fruit. 3 to 4 servings of good veggies, and if you really want too have more energy then make yourself a good protein smoothie. 2 scoops of whey protein powder, one cup of strawberries, stevia plus or spleenda to taste for sweetness, and 1/2 cup of water...Blend it well and sit in the freezer and before you go to bed place in the refrig. and tomorow morning drink the whole thing, and see if you have a better morning.....
