I think you are obsessed my friend! :) I'm just kidding. It's an important topic. They have said that cancers are becoming more common in younger kids and they attribute a lot of it to obesity. It's like they biggest (pun intended) issue we have medically right now. I think parents certainly aren't helping things. I can recall a few times when a friend of mine's son wanted to play catch, but his dad was too busy scrolling on his phone, so I gladly tossed the ball with him. I don't mind stepping up, but man I shouldn't have had to.
I am definitely obsessed. Body-shaming is just so much fun!
Yep, and I think obesity is more an indicator of all the other crap ew are putting in our bodies that might be causing the cancers too. In a hypothetical world, how much vegetables would a person need to eat to get fat? Even adding in natural meat, it is a huge amount. It is all the other stuff, plus the lack of moving.
Definitely not. Wouldn't it be great if we were all more active?
It also doesn't help that fruits and veggies are so expensive. I can buy a box of pizza rolls for $.99, but a fresh bell pepper is $2.39!
Geez! It is different here, which explains some things.
I know I've said it before, but when my wife and I get groceries each week, the bill is usually between $100 and $150. 70% of that bill is fresh fruits and vegetables. It's not hard to understand why folks living on minimum wage are getting bigger and bigger.
Yeah, I get it. I think it isn't only the cost, but also the convenience, considering minimum wage often comes with other issues due to the type of work and the time of travel etc.
For sure!
