I saw this article discussing the phenomenon of "recession pounds." Here's the idea: as Americans try to save money, they tend to buy cheap fattening food instead of more expensive/nutritious food. Apparently this is pretty well documented.
For those who are tempted to skimp on good nutrition, remember this:
*You only have one body--take care of it!
*Maintaining health is much more cost effective than treating bad health (think medical bills).
Don't gain recession pounds!

It's funny, and true. I did a post not long ago on how the fast food dollar menu is adding to the obesity epidemic, and in hard economic times, that dollar menu does begin to look better and better, even to those who manage to bypass it on most days. The usual salad with grilled meat and a protein shake or something is a bit pricier than those fries, nuggets and jr cheeseburgers! lol
You get more bang for your buck when you go for the bad stuff!
Although, to its credit, Wendy's does offer a salad on its value menu...
However, I hardly EVER see anyone ordering it! :)
