I've never understood this argument. Go to anybody on the street from any neighborhood in any demographic and ask them:
"In order to lose weight, should you eat more of:
- Candy or Fruit?
- Soda or Water?
- Big Mac or Chicken Breast?
- Hot Pockets or a Salad?
- Fried Chicken or Grilled Chicken?
etc...
It's honestly so insulting when people say that people are unhealthy do to a lack of information. Not only is common sense enough to navigate you 80% there, the rest is a YouTube video away.
- Folcon 4y agoThis feels like a pretty uncharitable take, for a start sugar is pretty addictive and reducing / cutting it out of your life if you're used to having lots of it isn't easy. Secondly I vaguely recall the shift as a university student routinely eating take away to cooking for myself, it's not a trivial step, you have to pickup habits around shopping, meal planning and cooking. There's a lot of steps someone who's not used to doing it can drop off on. So yes, I can believe that people both know what are healthier options, but have no idea how to actually practically execute them in their life. It is deeply unhelpful to give people advice that they can't action and then expect them to thank you for it.
