Let's say not the people but the country is to be blamed for people's weight issues. Why? Because, there is so much of food available everywhere -- genetically modified meat, chicken and super sized meals all round us. It's human nature to eat the abundance that is around. If there isn't much available, then we will not be this fat. I love this psychology.
Here's my solution - The environment we live in has to be changed. Every individual of a household should have a quota on their grocery purchase. They should have an ID card that scans through the check out aisle, that identifies the household they are from and rations their purchase. How can one get fat on this type of change? Same with fast food restaurants. A person should be allowed to buy burgers only once a week with their ID card. Would this help to reduce the obesity of this country? There would be no restriction on vegetable purchases but definitely on sugar, soda and snacks. Maybe there is a solution here!!

It sounds more like what a socialist country would do. It will never happen in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteYou cannot dictate what people should eat, how much and what they can buy at a grocery store.
What you are suggesting is impractical.
Slovenly behavior has permeated this county. Let me slop down some ribs, guzzle a big gulp and unbutton the button on my trousers is becoming acceptable.
ReplyDeleteJust as cigarette smoking has been frowned upon, food should be as well. It is time for me to catch a smoke and waddle to Wendy's, Cruise to Kentucky Fried Chicken and hurry to Haagen Dazs Heaven.
Your comment sounds funny, but that's exactly what I see happening all around.
