In spite of a tendency to forego out-of-pocket medical care, fitness expenses, and healthful foods, "... statistics show that as economics worsen, traffic accidents go down, as do industrial accidents, obesity, alcohol consumption and smoking." The L.A. Times reports that we curb our excessive (and unhealthy) behaviors when economic times are tough.
Yet, the net result may be greater unhealthiness. As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather have a prosperous economy and rely on my own judgment and initiative to keep me healthy.
