Well, you seem to be approaching the problem from the perspective that people don't know what's good for them, and that government should step in and correct them when they stray from the "One True Path™". But if the people so easily manipulated and controlled are picking our leaders, where does that leave us? Trumpistan?
Not really.
The only things I'm calling for are better education and a policy of making healthy food more appealing in terms of price. I'm not saying people should stop eating crap, I'm saying they should be informed about what they're eating, and they should find that healthy foods and not sugary foods, should be the ones that are cheaper.
I get it, you prefer that Coca-Cola and Pepsi receive billions in tax refunds and other money, but I don't.
And once again it is always cheaper to eat real food.
Opinion | Is Junk Food Really Cheaper?
Yes, if, of course, you have the time to cook.
The poorest in society are often the ones with the most change of being single parents families. The right want such people to work 80 hours a week just to make ends meet, and THEN demand they cook healthy nutritious food for their kids every night whole checking their homework.... yeah right....
Cut the crap you have time to cook if you want to.
You can cook just a couple times a week and prepare food for all the other days too
you really should start an excuse factory you'd be a millionaire in a week
And you seem to think that just because something can be done, that it will be done. Yeah, you could only get 6 hours sleep a night and cook healthy meals for your kids instead.
Get real. People who work 80 hours a week, have you ever worked 80 hours a week on your feet? I've done over 60 hours a week in a job where I had to be standing all the time, and when I went home I was shattered, I sat on the sofa watching TV, I hardly ever watch TV.
You're the one who seems to think every human being is a super fucking human, that has unlimited power to do things.
When people are tired, they don't want to go around cooking, especially if they've been working 10 hours or more a day.
You seem to think it's your business to make people do things you want them to do
What's wrong with 6 hours of sleep?
It's all I get.
And there aren't too many people in this country that work 80 hours a week you seem to think everyone does. And yes I have worked 80 hours a week and that's exactly why I also know there aren't many people who do. But I still managed to eat fruit and veggies and not boxed crap. I would cook meals for the entire week on Sunday. I'd make soup or stews and I'd cook a couple whole chickens to use for sandwich meat or to put on a salad all in just a couple hours on Sunday morning I had a big bowl of in season fruit on the table and a mix of fresh and frozen veggies on hand
And everyone has the same amount of time in a week. It's not impossible to make good food choices but you seem to think everyone is utterly incapable of doing anything.
