Junk food...

This is an interesting look at an alternate (to beer that is) explanation to the freshmen 15 (or for an over-achiever like me, the freshmen 60). It would seem that one can buy as much as 480% the calories of "junk food" for a dollar as one can buy fresh vegatables. This would certainly be a sideline contributing factor considering the typical financial situation of your average college student. It also reflects on the dismal profits available to family farms these days. How long till we are eating Jetson's style once-a-day meal ticket pills for $0.89 a pop, eh ?

Edit: Forgot the linky...
