I hope we're not creating a new sub-class, the poor and sick. Years of bad eating habits and no exercise will play havoc with future health costs. That is why I am so keen to eat right, exercise, and do preventative health maintenance. Who knows how much it will cost us in the future to fix health problems we're creating now.

That's not a problem reserved for the future. We're seeing it now. The poor are far more likely to have health problems than those who can afford to eat healthier food. They are also far more likely to go without needed health care when they do become sick because of lack of access to it or the lack of ability to afford it, let alone receive preventative care. |
