I know I dont eat out near as often as I used to and alot of times I decide to just wait until I get home before I eat something, sometimes if it means waiting all day then fine.

But it is going to be ridiculous when people find themselves standing in soup lines like they did during the Great Depression for their one meal that day and likely not that filling. Those who were born during the Depression were known as the 'stunted generation' due to poor nutrition during their childhood. (unusually small for their age due to a lack proper nutrition).

My grandmother pulled out my Grandfather's Navy Uniform from WWII - he was the equivalent of a size 00 in women's he was that thin when he went in the war. He was like 5'6 or 5'7 and barely weighed 100 pounds. YIKES. Sometimes I wish I could be that skinny but the reality is that he wasnt skinny on purpose - he was skinny because he really wasnt getting proper nutrition.
