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?

MAGA People of Color

MAGA is a movement of people of color. Beige color, that is. Human skin comes in three color shades: beige, brown, and black. Any color is okay. What is not okay is thinking that one color is better than another. What makes MAGA people suffer is that liberals are ending the color coded society that MAGA folks had learned was "great".  Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com People of Color  People of color are the base of the MAGA movement. Their color is beige. Human skin comes in three main colors or shades: beige, brown, and black. Melanin, a natural "ink" or pigment made by the body is responsible for skin color.  Your melanin color varies depending on whether your ancestors stayed in tropical weather, or migrated to nordic weather.

The combination of less UV radiation plus covered skin, made melanin beige.  You can see melanin as natural form ...

A 76 year old beige man

Neither Hunter Biden nor Steve Bannon can save Trump this time. Hunter is reportedly an atheist. Bannon is supposedly a christian who keeps a fake portrait of a bleached skin Jesus in his office. The J6 Hearings are destroying Trump and he seems doomed. Luckily for Trump he is a man of color (color beige) and will most likely avoid criminal prosecution. Luckily for all of us, Trump's political career is almost over. Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com Trump's Epic Collapse Millions of Americans have been waiting for Trump's collapse. Trump is a 76 year old old man with a poor diet, and a super stressful lifestyle. That is a lethal combination for any heart. Men of beige color with similar lifestyle factors are prone to deadly heart attacks. With every heartbeat, the blonde dyed hair and fake orange makeup gets closer to his final day on Earth.  No one is eternal; not even the MAGA king. That is the most fundamental flaw of kings and dictators. Even assuming ...

Mastodon

Mastodon is the new Twitter. Check it out. Read the rules. If you agree, open an account and give it a try. Many users are leaving Twitter after it was acquired and raided by Elon Musk. The richest man on Earth is controversial to say the least. By becoming a conservative political activist, Elon Musk has attracted a lot of hate. To some extent, the richest man on Earth seems to have a negative goodwill by now. Go figure. Slap is food for thought. Written philanthropy. Take more at TakeSlap.com   Haters gonna hate. You can be Jesus Christ and many people are going to hate you. Some will follow, and as a consequence some will hate.

Hate is a common human emotion that derives from fear. There are two basic emotions controlling humans: fear and greed. Humans are greedy for pleasure, and fearful of pain.  Hu...
