Im not tying to shift blame, I’m pointing out that this is much less simple than the original poster described. It’s no so simple as just walking more and taking the time to eat whole food precisely because there is a broader system designed to keep people fat consumers that should be seriously and skeptically examined for dodging their influences on society. We know cigarette kept dodging their involvement in getting kids addicted early. We know Perdue was lying about how their opioids worked to guarantee addiction cycles. We know the original nutrition guidelines were originally developed by the agriculture department and that several agribusinesses had their thumbs on the scale to skew what was told to the entire nation on how to eat well.
Are those kids who were exposed to cigarettes personally responsible? How about those folks who are addicted to opioids now? And of course all those Americans at the time, they just should’ve decided against following official nutrition guidelines by their government (assuming they can afford to! Poor kids were fed according to these guidelines in school lunches…)
And that’s just the stuff we know about!
- SamPatt 4y agoIt is simple. It's just not easy. I think the original comment was pointing out that our discussion of diet and nutrition is overly complicated. Not that it's easy to make the right choices, but that it is easy knowing what those right choices are. I hear you on how difficult it is though. People who are able to manage it confuse the simplicity of knowing what to do and the difficulty of actually achieving it.
