That's interesting. Taking a walk a few times a week can cost nothing (if one has the time). Choosing not to eat a diet of sugar and fat can be cheaper... So while I get the whole "telling someone who is unhealthy to 'be more healthy'" thing is not a good approach. it's also PROVEN that diet and exercise _do_ have an effect. So I can't imagine why encouraging folks warrants a downvote. But, here I am on this train now too!
- notJim 7y agoBecause if just telling people this was the solution, we wouldn't have this problem. It comes across as snarky because it treats a difficult and complex problem as a simple one.
- dredmorbius 7y agoI see your point. But treating this as if it is only a "try harder" or "you've got what you had coming to you" isn't a very interesting conversation either.
- sigstoat 7y ago> That's interesting. Taking a walk a few times a week can cost nothing (if one has the time). you keep just glossing over the costs. "if one has the time". it's an opportunity cost.
