The Indianapolis Star headline on Saturday’s edition read:
Nearly 1 In 10 Jobless In State
To make matters worse, the Indiana state unemployment fund is bankrupt & racking up $3 Million in debt evey day. A local news station in central Indiana just reported that Hoosiers are accumulating $100,000 an hour in debt.

Could this mean that our obesity rank could be on the way up? Will we choose lower quality / cheaper foods? Will we scale back on fresh fruits and vegetables and eat processed or fast food fillers?
Throw out the fry-daddy… I am sick of this! There has to be a better way.
