Reply #136: Who has the time and money to buy fresh vegetables [View All]

[alarimer]

every day? I know I don't have the time to shop every day. So I only have fresh fruits and vegetables a few days a month at best (but frozen ones are good substitute- forget canned, yuck!). It isn't that fruits and vegetables are so expensive; it's that they spoil fairly quickly, which makes them relatively more expensive. I throw more bananas away than I atually eat sometimes because they ripen so fast here and I find them disgusting when they get too soft. But that's just me.

I suspect that if I were having to work 80 hours a week, I would not be working out at all and I would have no time to prepare a good meal. At best I would open a can of something or microwave some premade dinner.

So I can't blame people for being obese. Mostly it is beyond their control, especially if they are poor and working inhumane hours.
