127 Years ago, you were in school. Lolz 🤣

I believe parents need to take a lot of the blame though

Agreed 💯! Parents are responsible for providing a model to imitate via their own character. Next, it is their responsibility to provide enough knowledge to their kids why they should eat health. Further, they should provide them healthy stuff and not fall into the laziness of getting ready-made.

I have observed a rapid increase in the use of ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook stuff. Instead of preparing the food at home, a lot of food stuff is bought in frozen form. I think that's laziness from the parent's side. We all know such food isn't free of preservatives and what else is added we never know. (I know the contents are mentioned on the wrapper, but how appropriate, I am skeptical).

The lack of physical activity is a matter of great concern. I believe, for many cases obesity is not the case of how much one eats but how much calories one burns.

With the rise of health concerns because of food, more marketers made their place claiming one diet or the other to be more healthy. And I believe, these diet add more misery to health status than giving the benefits

Sort:  

Companies drive for profit and so create their foods around the most efficient and cost effective methods and that means quality is the compromise. Consumers keep buying their products though and so they'll continue to do whatever they like to maximise their profits...most of what's in food doesn't have to be there but exists to enhance taste of substandard ingredients and improve shelf-life.

I think, most of us are in an illusion of being knowledgeable via the marketing of the product. They first create the demand by emphasizing the need of the products and then they sell. People, considering themselves wise, follow the trend.

I tend to agree.
