That point is, NO ONE BUT YOU controls: what goes in your shopping cart
Technically yes but in practice not really. Most people aren't professional nutritionists; they look to trusted authority figures for advice. And when the government says "most of your calories should come from carbs" and so on, people, not unreasonably, believe them.
- chiefalchemist 9y agoI agree, they're listening to someone else, and not their own bodies. But that's like Oprah more than it's Uncle Sam. People hear what they want. And anyone who says "Eat whatever you want because your 'body type's doesn't matter." Futhermore, at some point don't you look at your expanding waistline, look at a non expanding friend and ask "What's your diet and lifestyle like?" Or do you just blame the system? No doubt it's tough. No doubt being mindful of what goes into your being - mind and body - is tough (#sarcasm). Why be your own (gate) keeper when you can just let loose and let someone else pick up the tab? In any case, I do agree with you to some extent. So let's talk about that as part of the problem. But we don't. We blame the system yet refuse to talk about health. That's clearly not working.
