$3000 a year on health?Did you know that the average person eats out 11 times in two weeks. Guess it was too confusing to say 5.5 times a week.
11 TIMES! Are you kidding me. Let's put it at a respectable $10 an outing. That is $55 a week and $2860 a year.
Now, if someone was to take nearly 3 thousand dollars a year and invest it in a gym membership and a personal trainer for 3 months to get some education on healthy activity and lifestyle, do you think we could put a huge dent in scales?
At a respectable weight loss rate of 1lb a week, that is 52lbs a year.
That would put a serious dent in the our collective girth. I just have to figure out a way to get people to put their money somewhere other than their mouth? Rhetorically speaking, that is.
What do you think about that?

I have a free newsletter for everyone to sign up for. As Brother Bluto wisely said, "Don't cost nuthin."
Private information remains private.
That would be a big waste of money for me. I do know someone who eats out 2 meals a day, every day. I just think about what I could do with that money.
And, yes, I agree, most Americans could use investing that money in their health. Even just investing it would be good. Or paying off debt...
Not eating out wouldn't exactly save $2,860 a year.
We'd still have to eat at home (I assume) but, if we saved half by cooking those meals ourselves, we could still use $1,430 to join a gym or hire a personal trainer.
