Recession and Healthy Lifestyle

This article is unfortunate in some ways but also fortunate in others.

Basically it goes into the fact that due to the current global recession, people are cutting back on buying healthy foods. This unfortunately is where the food companies that produce the junk have an upper hand because they hold the products that are cheaper. But I have to say, it's really not that much cheaper. I'll admit though that I've done the same thing of sorts by pulling back on organic products and settling for the non-organic. But, at least I'm going from an organic apple to a non-organic apple, not an apple to Oreos.

But, the article also states that at least in the UK, the number of people seeking help in trying to stop smoking is significantly higher. I'm guessing that people are looking at their essentials and noticing how much they can save by cutting out the smokes. Which the timing of this article ran fairly close to this article in the Detroit Free Press that stated the state hotline for people to get help to quit smoking was so high that it caused a logjam of callers to the point that the state had to publicize an additional phone number for people to call.

Don't let the recession hit you where it's going to hurt you in the long run. Eating healthy is what's going to keep you healthy and away from the doctor's office which in the end, could cost you more than buying those healthy foods.
