Oh My GOD! Me being poorer = Healthier?

There once was an old saying, " You can either have your wealth or your health". Funny how all those old sayings rhymed, unfortunately, this one is true. As New York Times reports - http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/07/health/07well.html?_r=1&ref=health&oref=slogin
, new research shows that bad economic times increase sense of health. But, not a major increase in health actually, if one has a life threatening disease and no insurance. The only positive silver lining would be that Americans (Because we're the suffering ones here, I guess) would break the stereotype of obesity. In fact, because of the rising cost of food, Americans, in theory, will start cooking their own food. Usually, when one cooks their own food, they will pay attention to what they are putting in their frying pans. In addition, vegetables are pretty cheap, right? My mom just bought a pound of onions for a dollar. So, my health is pretty much set. Vegetables and whatever else until the times get better which will probably be like, what, 10 years from now?
