Stupid people could cook well- but they don't want to spend the time, and the stupider they are, the less likely they are to have the foresight to postpone quick "pleasure" now, for good lives later. I'm not making excuses, you misunderstand. I merely describe what I see. I see lazy people who enjoy bad fats and sugar, and who KNOW what they are eating is bad, but they just don't care.
I'm for the government making ONLY healthy food available for those with foodstamps- meat, veggies, no processed foods- but yeah, business isn't going to allow that, now are they? And who is going to lobby for that? Democrats and republicans reside in the pocket of big business, and we don't care how much money businesses spend on elections (we just had that decision, right?) So kiss any hope of people eating better goodbye- until that benefits some large business interest, then maybe something will be done.
Until that day small actors like you and me and health teachers and parents are all there is- and we are up against big business, and the best government big business can buy. Yeah- it's not a "fair" fight. I can't believe the pass you give business, since they have bought many of the crap government actions you deplore- like subsidies, for example. |
