"CASH-strapped university students struggling to get by on baked beans and two-minute noodles and are at greater risk of developing chronic diseases, according to a new Australian study.
Dr Gallegos said vulnerable groups tended to eat more fast foods or energy-dense foods, like take-aways, as these were often viewed as more affordable and filling.
She said low income groups who found it difficult to eat a healthy, balanced diet were more likely to be either overweight or underweight, and were at a greater risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer and heart disease (couriermail.com)."
Is this really shocking to anyone. Nothing about college is healthy. You don't sleep, you drink too much, you experiment, you eat a lot of easy mac and ramen noodles, so of course none of that is good. The way I see it, its like your body going through some kind of war, but everyone (for the most part) gets through it, plus what doesn't cause cancer these days?
