If you emerge from the supermarket with a bag stuffed with cookies, pies and doughnuts, it could be that your credit or debit card is to blame.

U.S. researchers speculate that the rising tide of obesity in America could in part be related to the increasing use of plastic to pay for groceries.

They tracked the spending of 1,000 shoppers over six months and found that people paying for groceries with cards were more susceptible to impulse buys of food they knew was bad for them.

Who pays for their groceries through credit cards :neutral:. Times must be tough.

I was surprised myself in the beginning but now it's common to see. Good old cash days are over.

How about the days you use to barter. A cow for 2 horses :neutral:. Don't mind me, bored again.
