“The condition – dubbed the credit munch – has seen three-in-five Britons put on weight in the past 12 months, according to research by on-line pharmacy TheChemist.co.uk.”—“Credit Munch Britons Put on 20 Million Stone,” The Daily Express (U.K.), May 11, 2009
Gosh—this sounds bad….Sort of like how Liz Lemon’s friend Jenna on 30 Rock warns her against an old boyfriend by comparing him to cheese doodles: “You know they’re bad for you, but you eat them because it’s easier than cooking.”
