I think this belongs in the further pussification of america thread.

don't teach kids that they're fat because they're eating bad food.

don't teach parents that their kids are fat because they're feeding them bad food.

it's always someone else's fault.

This statement is absolute rubbish. Kids are fat because they're eating bad foods. This is why America has been collectively growing fatter since the 50's. Companies are finding ways to process foods with cheaper ingredients that contain less nutritional value and more sugar. The days of mom staying home and having dinner ready by the time dad gets home from work are over, mom's working 9-5. This means that she's going to buy a box of Hamburger Helper instead of making something from scratch that means there are no preservatives and unnecessarily processed food.

I am all for preventing the further pussification of america, but when this is a major shift in the quality of food that is AVAILABLE to america. I shop for groceries all the time and it's a lot easier for me to find foods that are pure shit than it is to find foods that are nutritional. Stores just don't carry good food anymore, they carry what sells and what's cheap.

If that is the case then I apologize, hard to pick up sarcasm on the internet.

I don't think it's necessarily the actual foods being soo much worse, as my parents always talked about eating fried chicken and mashed potatoes with lots of gravy & butter & stuff. people all cooked with lard and everyone eat all the fatty parts of steaks, nobody ate salads or lean meats, etc.

people are fat because our modern conveniences have evolved at an insane pace compared to our bodies. we have lawnmowers with drive wheels, drive thrus for everything from food to pharmacies, dishwashers, automatic car washes, remotes for every conceivable device (even your damn car stereo wtf is up w/that). families make way more money as the wife tends to have a decent paying job, so cooking/cleaning/repairs/lawn are done by hired hands more often than in the old days. we have stores where you can get every possible consumer item you need to survive, whereas the old days you may have had several different trips to make.

sure we have more calories total (probably more from sodas than anything), but I don't think it has to do so much with that as it does that we never burn calories anymore, unless we choose to exercise.

I don't see how preservatives & additives make you fat... maybe buying all the organic stuff keeps your back pocket lighter

If that is the case then I apologize, hard to pick up sarcasm on the internet.

no prob bob
