Consider who were adults 50 years ago . . . the kids from the Great Depression and who went through WWII. Then the US went through it's biggest boom years. With more reliance on automobiles, living farther away from work and a move away from an agrarian life . . . we became the consumption society.

When I felt the need to loose some weight I just skipped 1 meal and reduced the fat contient on the other 2.No breakfast,a salad for lunch with tuna or chicken ,and then a portioned out dinner of meat ,veggies and some bread.I found your urge for fatty foods is reduced as your weight drops ,28 lbs loss was realized after 4 months .Fruit was added in between meals just to keep the day going.For adding some fat cheese is Ok ,just not packaged processed ,maybe the deli cheese sliced then packaged.Most mexican food causo is velveta melted down with water to keep it liquid ,fried floor with sauces and meats makes most of these meals delisiouso just not good for a sustainable weight.

Seems the more complex society becomes, the more complex are the solutions to problems people seek to control.

I believe in simplicity. You wanna lose weight? Don't eat that much. Wanna get out of debt? Don't spend money and clip coupons and look for bargains.

Nobody dropped a wad of cash in my lap and said "spend it all on what you want". I had to work for it. After awhile economy becomes a habit, moneywise and foodwise.

Then you truly realize the important things you don't stint on.

You are correct my good Sir. I CANNOT waste food, even if it made out of glue and plastic.
