Gregory's Server@Natanox Oh I could talk for hours about this stuff (been studying it for 3 years). Humans are very bad at resisting calories or, in fact, any short term gain, even if they "know" there is a long term loss but we are way worse at this when we are in "scarcity" mode. So poverty makes everything worse.
@chris_e_simpson @Natanox very interesting on the sugar and also completely logical.
 Financial stress is also a major factor in decision-making and can lead to very poor long-term decisions.  It’s not necessarily the case that being stupid makes you poor, but it is certainly true that being poor makes you make stupid decisions.
