80% of Americans are overweight. 95% of Americans would like to lose fat. Food prices are rising. Inflation is at a 40 year high, if not more. This is a perfect opportunity to embrace the challenge of eating less to enjoy more. 

Food prices are increasing

In free markets, prices are set by supply and demand. Supply refers to what sellers offer or "supply" for sale. Demand refers to what buyers want or "demand" to buy. Prices are set by the interaction of supply and demand. When demand is high, and supply is low. prices increase. When demand is low, and supply is high, prices decrease. 

The U.S. economy is at full employment with record low unemployment. Everyone who wants a job, finds one. That puts a lot of dollars out into buyers' hands causing demand to increase. If supply is low or remains constant, prices increase. 

Most Americans want prices to go down. For prices to go down, demand would have to decrease, supply would have to increase, or both. 

Americans are gaining weight

In human bodies, weight is set by caloric intake and output. Intake refers to the calories (energy) that people consume. Output refers to the calories (energy) that people use. Whatever caloric intake that is not used or wasted, is stored in the form of excess fat in the body. 

Americans are overweight because we have consumed more calories than what we have burned. As children, we get used to eating three meals a day plus snacks to support growth and high activity. As adults, we continue the habit and tradition of three or more meals a day even though we are no longer growing and not as active. The result is overweight Americans all around. 

Most Americans want fat weight to do down. For fat weight to go down, food intake would have to decrease, energy output would have to increase, or both.  

Saving money and losing weight

High food prices can help us buy less food. If you don't buy those delicious Oreo cookies, you save a few bucks and help yourself eat less. If you don't buy those dead meats, you save a lot and save the lives of fellow animals. If you avoid most packaged foods in the grocery store, your savings increase and your caloric intake decreases.

Perhaps you prefer buying as much cheap and delicious food as possible. You want to eat three times a day plus have a few snacks to deal with the pain and anxiety of being alive. That is all fine and dandy, but you will be spending a lot of money and inflating yourself up. The extra weight and fat obesity will bring many costly diseases that will shorten your life and ruin your finances.

The choice is yours. You can pray for low food prices to keep inflating yourself to death. Alternatively, you can be grateful about food inflation and see how it can help you prioritize your grocery shopping. Buying vegetables and legumes will help you save a lot of money. Eating less will help you live more.  You can learn to associate the mild physical pain of hunger with the mental pleasure of saving money and improving your health.

Food for thought. What do you think?

Christian Abortions

Christian women should vote for Democrats to protect the sacred right to medically sound and compassionately humane abortions in the United States. Guaranteeing access to proper abortions under adequate medical care is not only a human right, but also a Christian obligation. Christian entrepreneurs should also tap into the untouched business opportunity of promoting Christian abortions.  Slap is food for thought. Take more at  TakeSlap.com   Christian faith stands for the belief in a heavenly father who loves his children on Earth. When that heavenly father sends one of his daughters a gift of life, daughters should feel loved and empowered to safely, kindly, and humanely return the gift to the father if desired. The heavenly father is not a monster or or sadistic deity.  The heavenly father will understand and appreciate the safe return of the unborn soul to heaven. The heavenly father will not want his daughter to suffer and will not want the soul to be in the wron...

Elon Musk is a Trump wannabe

                                                            [This post was updated on April 25, 2022.] Is Musk a Trump wannabe?  You bet.  Unfortunately, he was born in South African and is not a natural born American.  Therefore, he cannot run for President of the United States. Money is addictive. Power is even more addictive than money. Money is addictive because your primate brain gets big dopamine payloads imagining the pleasures that money can buy for you. Power is more addictive than money because your brain gets an even higher dopamine payload imagining all the pleasures (including money) that power can get for you.   That is the case for everyone, including you. However, the attraction to money and power is even stronger in the brains of billionaires for two reasons: (i) they ...

Would you go nuclear if you were Putin?

                                                                 This post was updated on April 24, 2022 Will Putin go nuclear in Ukraine? No. Putin will not go nuclear. Going nuclear will get Putin killed or jailed. Putin, like every other animal on Earth, is controlled by the pain / pleasure algorithm of life. Putin will do whatever his brain perceives as being in his best pain/pleasure interest. Putin will try to save face to stay in power. Putin will claim victory and retreat out of Ukraine this summer.  TakeSlap offers spicy food for thought.
