Well yeah, here isn't going to be a resolution because it's based on how we live. gobbledygook VMs ftw. Yes gobbledygook it's a type of doublespaek lol~ we're gay. or at least I am.
Edited something in below ~~~~~~jizz
I agree with you that not everyone is going to make a "correct" decision (the best possible choice) on what to eat. We can increase education on this issue, and attempt to change lifestyle through social influences. But I don't see us implementing a law that says McDonalds cannot be within 2 miles of a residential area (who would vote for that anyway ). I don't think there is ever going to be a resolution on this issue. The best you can do is attempt to get people to change their lifestyle by whatever means, but the choice is still going to be theirs. Also, I like your points about "If people walked all the way to a fast food joint, ate and then walked to work, home and did it everyday I bet that' would probably add up to more exercise some people have gotten their whole lives today." and people getting off the internet and such. And while you did say "as much" and not completely (so you know I didn't miss that), I just want to point out that excersize is not the exact cancellation of the bad things you are intaking when you eat McDonalds. The guy in Supersize Me was damaging his liver, and the doctor he went to see compared it to someone who abuses alcohol. I don't know exactly how it works to be honest, but I don't think physical activity will repair a damaged liver; there has to be some internal "exercise" (intaking the proper things). Anyway, I think all you can do is attempt to educate people and encourage them to change their lifestyle. I guess if society's norm wasn't sitting and talking on MSN or VMs all night we might be having this conversation at a gym while riding exercise bikes next to each other. At least then we'd be at least taking a step in the right direction, though we'd still need to eat properly. Also, this is an edit: I forgot to address the first thing you said. I realize fast food isn't the source of all obesity, but it is one example of it. I acknowledge that there are many different types of obesity. But the same thing I'm talking about still applies. Sleep habits, mental health, recreational activity, anything you consume (or otherwise put in your body) are all things anyone can change that affect obesity. If you can educate yourself on these issues you can control them.
Fast food isn't the cause of obesity. I was being sarcastic, going to the drive through doesn't mean your automatically a lazy person. I was making a point about how no matter what you teach people, those who make bad food choices or even those who are trying to make better food choices are still going to be influenced by the accessibility and yeah convenience of how we live daily. Convenience doesn't equal laziness but it does promote it. I would like to say education in school is the answer but we already have health and nutrition classes. Say even classes based on food and how to eat were enforced; if I knew how bad all this stuff was the fact of the matter is that the Micky Ds is still down the street, and if a person is starving between 3 hour classes chances are they're gonna make a stop there on the way back. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that either. With fast food aside we're just not as active of a society as we can/ should be. tv, cars, internet (all the this stuff already brought up) Imagine driving was completely taken away. If people walked all the way to a fast food joint, ate and then walked to work, home and did it everyday I bet that' would probably add up to more exercise some people have gotten their whole lives today. It probably wouldn't even matter as much if they ate fast food everyday. Now if you get rid of tv and internet, all that time you would spend indoors you would replace with something more active. It also eliminates convinces like online shopping etc. sorry to ID up ur page haha.
Definitely feel you on the lifestyle thing. My view is just...for me I'm not sure that convenience = lazy. It's fine to go to McDonalds every once in a while on a lunch break that lasts 30minutes instead of going all the way home to prepare a meal and try to rush back to school/work. I still have my sense of taste so I don't want to eat a turkey sandwich or a prepared meal from home every day. That's the convenience of McDonalds for me. If I eat it everyday regardless of whether or not I'm at school/work or if I have time to prepare a meal or not, that's lazy. Other people who go to McDonalds and order 10 meals because a bunch of people/kids are over at their house and they go through the drive thru (which is supposed to be quick, you're holding up others) so they don't have to get out of their cars is lazy. It's not exactly taught in school what is good for you to eat, and what is bad for you. Even buying those low calorie microwave dinners aren't "good" for you, although they are better than fast food. That's the education I'm talking about. If we start teaching (education) our future children on the issue before they get too used to it (lifestyle), then we will be much better off.
