British study concludes that diet of the poor no worse than average - but all could do better.

Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
he said, 'Don't count calories.'

Re: BBC: Poverty and diet
Pretty interesting.
I personally ate garbage not necessarily because it was cheaper, but because I was lazy and addicted to the stuff.
I think my grocery budget is actually less on Atkins because I eat out much less and have quit buying chips, cokes, cookies and candy.
It comes down to: Is it important to me to eat healthy food?
Seems like if there's money for cigarettes and alcohol that they should be able to buy healthy food.Caryl
