After reading a friend's blog, I've been thinking a lot about a statement I hear all too often, "I want to eat well, but I can't afford to eat well." In her blog, she mentioned that the average U.S citizen spends less than 10% of their income on food. For those of you that are curious...that is lower than any other country.
We are the wealthiest country in the world, yet we are "forced" to buy processed junk because that's all we can afford.
I wonder how our monthly car payments measure up to folks in other countries? Wonder is we have fatter savings accounts or better clothing than men and women abroad? I hope my children's generation will invest in their health(and their family's health) and not rapidly depreciating assets and temporary pleasures.
Anywho, I did a blitz lower body workout with John today. Here's how it went...
