Up untill a week ago Nofrills carried these "three packs" of salmon for $10. Now the same pack contains two for the same $10. I thought it felt light when I bought it yesterday.

This comes to about $0.02 increase per gram, and a $1.10 price increase overall. Or a 11% increase in price overall. Meanwhile inflation is at 6-7%?

Cheap food is usually less healthy but if you talk about people staving a little from time to time it seems realistic that many might get slimmer, not the healthy way to do it but I guess some could end up healthier

My guy.

Losing weight by starving does not lead to a healthier person. What you get is a malnourished person.

Thinner people does not equal healthier people. These two factors need to be considered separately. Of course, the grossly obese tend to be less healthy, but even those in a "healthy" weight range, can have a large number of health-related problems, both with their diet and with their exercise and otherwise.

Of course, it's a missfired joke!

Look at a thin person's legs: little or no muscle means the low body mass is the product of self-starvation, muscled legs means it's the product of lots of exercise.

Also you can notice that people who starved themselves to be thin as teenagers (much more common in women) have arched legs.

Thinner people are healthier in that they won't suffer from the same medical issues that plague the obese. A thin person might have high cholesterol, but they're not going to also have the same increase chance of heart disease an obese person will see. No individual who's 300lbs is healthy, obesity in and of itself is the disease. The fact thin people suffer from other, non-weight related diseases doesn't mean there is not point in not maintaining a healthy weight.

Food insecurity is not a solution to the obesity epidemic, but eating a couple hundred calories per day less than maintenance is also not starvation. And ensuring healthy foods and produce are more affordable than unhealthy and high-processed alternatives is a great way to kill two birds with one stone.
