I Would Be Healthier If I Had The Money - Page 3

So recently, I've been trying to quit my coke habit. I mean, my cola habit. I used to drink a two-liter a day, and recently I've started to drink more water and juice. My favorite type of juice is usually on sale, too: two two-liter bottles for $5.00 - but I can get four bottles of Coke for that price. Even more if I go to the dollar store and get the one-liter bottles from there.

I'm not saying that I'm the healthiest person in the world - I barley exercise, I don't eat right, and I'm a couch potato. However, it occurred to me that others might feel the same as me; looking to make a change but assaulted by low-priced grease and soda on all sides. And talk about readily available.

They've now got hybrid, fuel efficient cars. That's great for the people that need to buy a care, and can afford to buy something new and shiny... but everyone else is left with their gas-guzzling behemoths because of a lack of funds, or whatever the cause may be. Are we wanting to be healthier because we actually want to do so, but lack the means/funds to? Or is it one of those "New Years Resolutions" we tack on to our to-do list that we never end up doing?
