You are right. We all need to take the initiative to improve our own health.
The problem I have is with the food companies who’s target market are kids. They advertise with cool cartoon characters and provide complementary toys to them. The ingredients in their products, however, set the poor children up for life long health problems.
Many of these foods are also designed with addictive qualities.
An obese person, for example, knows that a poor diet is the cause of their weight gain...
Why don’t they just fix it then? It’s a simple change of diet.
Addiction is a struggle we all have to deal with in some way. Just like cigarette boxes must contain the disclaimer that the substances inside them are addictive and harmful, so too should food products have similar labels put on them.
This can only be prevented by educating our children form a very young age.
