Actually, obesity is a big problem in China now..
I guess with increased prosperity, people end up gorging more.
So, relating this back to the economy, if we go through a economic depression, do people gain or lose weight?
On one hand, being poor, probably means you have to scale back on food…
On the other hand, being poor, you end up eating the cheapest things (like $99 burgers or some crap like that).
So which way do American’s weight go when we have an economic depression?
BTW: have you folks been to McDonald’s lately? I have to say, I went to the one in Carmel Valley last week (kid wanted to go), and wow the menu has changed. Well, you still can get the fast food crap, but they actually have some pretty decent healthy food that’s not bad tasting too.
