We hear much about the 'obesity epidemic' these days.
Having spent many years dealing with people of all ages and backgrounds, much of the blame can be laid at the door of the food industry and government for putting profit before people's health. There is simply so much mis-information out there that it's hardly surprising that people don't know what constitutes a healthy diet, even (in many cases) if they think that they do.
However, that is far from the only reason.
Good old fashioned LAZINESS also plays a huge part.
I was watching 'Pushy & Proud; Fast Food Mums' on Sky Living last night and I was truly appalled at one woman in particular.
She had four children, all of whom appeared to be under 5 and who's diets consisted of McDonalds fodder and whatever she could buy at the chippy. Her reasoning being that it was 'quick and easy' for her.
Wonderful.
Neither she, or her husband, worked, so it's not like she had a hectic lifestyle that prevented her from cooking decent food for her kids. She simply couldn't be bothered.
The fact that they could actually AFFORD to get take-away food for 6 people whilst living on state benefits is a subject that I won't go into here, but I found her 'can't be ar**d' attitude staggering, but far from surprising.
Eating healthily isn't difficult.
In fact, it's both easy as well as cheap. Far cheaper than living on fast-food 7 days a week!!
