Be skeptical of any research that shows the health risks / benefits of a behavior that can also be correlated to wealth.
Is quinoa good for you? Or do rich people get better healthcare?

Oil prices today: $115.83 a barrel
Gas prices today: $5.01 a gallon
Oil prices in April of 2008: $116.50
Gas prices in April of 2008: $3.51 a gallon
Gas prices are $1.50 a gallon higher than they should be because of the greed of big oil. It's time for a windfall profits tax.

Gas is over $5 a gallon right now.
The last time a barrel of crude oil cost this much was in July 2014. At that point a gallon of gas only cost about $3.54.
Let’s be clear: Oil companies don’t need to be charging this much for gas. They’re just doing it to make excess profits.

A McDonalds hamburger costs $2.09 at the register. McDonalds internal documents show that the raw materials (patty, bun, etc.) cost $0.34. A McDonalds employee makes $11/hr on average with a shift manager making $15/hr. Shifts are 8 people on average. That means McDonalds pays
