So what?

There is no measurable decline in economic activity which is what you were trying to imply. /quote]

I wasn't trying to imply the overall economy, sorry if I mislead. It could hurt the gas stations for sales regardless of who thinks we should, or should not be eating junk food.

It's not a matter of whether a person should or should not eat junk food. It's a matter of whether or not there would be a decline in economic activity.

Shifting the activity from the gas station to the grocery store or into savings (should the person not buy anything) does not lead to a decline of overall economic activity.

It is a shift from the gas station to someone/somewhere else so it really isn't a BFD.

Well, it is just a matter of time before all you country dwellers will be flocking to the city anyways.

When gas reaches the $2.00-$3.00 level or more, you will all be mothballing your tin boxes anyways.

My tin boxes do not do well in a town.

Without them, there is a lot of stuff - meat, veggies and so on that do not get transported.

However I would be glad to live in town if you can come up with a way to get me from town and back - otherwise there will be a sizeable pile of goods that will not go anywhere but the dump.
