Yup. Most people do not wake up early to make a meal in the morning. It's usually go-go-go! I'll get something on the way to work, or just grab coffee.

And yes, at lunch, those vending machines with those 50 cent bags of chips all of a sudden look really appealing because it's quick, easy and right there. Only get a half-hour lunch, or they give you an hour lunch, but you get called in to do some service or something, so it's not really a lunch, they just give you an opportunity to put something in your mouth. Then you come home and you're tired from work. Order out pizza, or make something super quick, and not very healthy.

THANK YOU.

One could argue that financial status is not a superficial concern, especially if children are desired.

Financial status = higher survival rates, better health and future opportunities for the offspring. Any social scientist knows this.

As does any evolutionary scientist or anthropologist...as do 90% of Chinese parents. Or Indian for that matter. Or Korean..or..hell..you get what I mean.

You can say the same thing about men's interest in big boobs and a round ass

Somewhat correct. It's not the boobs or the ass specifically, but rather the hips- in our hunter gatherer days one needed all the extra fat one could get, especially women, to prepare for the exhausting, calorie draining and potentially fatal activity of child-birth. So a woman with wide hips and curves would be seen as more likely to bear viable offspring. Of course, nowadays modelling and magazines (run by women mind you) now sell the anorexic look as the sexy one in society.

That's so not true. I have no idea why people keep saying that.

That may be true to ugly women but women who look like models will not even talk to you unless you are a beautiful and rich man.

The problem in today's society is it is hard to tell financial status just from looking and a lot of it is counter intuitive. Because of easy credit and thrifty behavior sometimes the well off look not as well off and the broke look rich.

I think it is more biological than cultural for men to put premium on female beauty. I was born that way. I can remember being a young child, before I was socialized to have any preferences, and being very attracted to my moms pretty friends, I wanted to be around them and loved every second of it. When my mom's unattractive friends came over I had none of those feelings and would rather play with my toys.

Actually, that's not true. Breast size, for example, has nothing to do with health or milk production and in the end survival even tho large breasts are preferred.
