So, to attempt to put a cap on endless lits of just how many pies each barbeloid eats, cross-referenced to the cost of those pies, let's suppose it is perhaps possible to eat healthily for the same cost as eating unhealthily (although Rugal's regime adds up to about 12-15 a day, which sounds like a fair amount of money compared to a diet of white bread, extra value cheese and 10-for-a-pound burgers.
What are the other factors? Time? Transport? If I had the time, I could buy vegetables at the local farmers' market, which would be cheaper presumably than local stores. If I had the time, I could cross-refer prices between different shops in the area and split my main food shop 5 or 6 ways, dpending on who could give me the best price. I could buy ingredients that were nutricious but took hours or days to prepare for cooking, like lentils.
Not having time, but having a reasonable amount of money, instead I buy organic foodstuffs that can be rapidly prepared and eaten, and store-bought veg.
If I had neither time nor money, or a car to travel to purveyors of healthier food at good prices, or any one of a number of other factors, woudl it be nobody's fault but my own if I continued to eat inexpensive, fat and carbohydrate heavy foodstuffs, and put on weight?
And, if Rugal is right, are fat people rightly to be despised for being lazy and ignorant, or is there another reason for them to be despised? |
