Fat and Rich or Healthy and Rich?

"Fat and Rich is a oxymoron"
As stated by World Renowned Economist, and author Paul Zane Pilzer.

People who are getting older, are looking for something to live longer, age better, and feel better. No longer are they staying overweight, but they buying the products and services that will help them better understand and educate them to live better. They are becoming healthier and more physically fit.

The problem in the industry is an Economic problem not a biology problem, and the results hold true.

Food manufactures make foods which target the existing customers not new customer's. This is caused because it is easier to get a one time customer to purchase again then it is to find new customers. The processed food industry makes products that are cheaper then the natural healthier alternatives, I.E. fast food restaurants, frozen dinners and other packaged meals.

So those people who do not have a very good incomes look towards the cheaper foods and are the people who unfortunately buy these products that can be worse for us as consumers. With the invention of the "dollar" menu at local fast food restaurants and buy (2) get on FREE advertisements in local grocery stores, no wonder we are buying these lower quality products. These products often contain "fillers" or preservatives that give the meal a large portion however do not provide nutritional backing.

Those who have better incomes have more time and as a result eat healthier and seek better advice and products. For example look at celebrities in Hollywood. They have a lot more time than the typical person because they have a better income; as a result they are able to purchase products that can benefit them more than those who cannot afford them.

As a result the poor get heavier and the rich get thinner.

However this does not need to be the case for everyone. We can all learn a little something from education and research.

Did you know that 65% of the population is overweight and of that 25% are clinically obese?

Which category do you "fit" into?
