well said.

why is fresh fruit more expensive than little Debbie snack cakes?

Surprising news, because I believe the rates are holding steady or going up just about everywhere else.

I think part of the reason may be that New Yorkers tend to do a lot more walking than people in other cities. It's amazing the very short distances people drive outside the city.

true,

Pomegranite juice which is really good for you is like 5 dollars a bottle, while Fanta soda is like 79 cents a bottle.

so you tell me what the mother of 5 children is going to buy.


and our stupid First Lady Michelle wonders why kids are fat and un healthy.

The pomegranate juice they sell isn't nearly as amazing for you as they would lead you to believe.

LOL, and why do I actually believe that., it is probably loaded with sugar.

while sugar tastes so good, sugar is not your friend.

Not sure is gym is required for all kids in other states but I had to take gym throughout my whole public school education, which might also contribute.

Water is for FREE!! I as a mother cannot believe parents give their kids soda? My kids hate the stuff as I always given them water and very little juice. I spend $0 on their drinks
